1.Now Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him at his home in Ramah.
Then David moved down into the desert of Maon.
2.A certain man in Maon, who had property there at Carmen, was very wealthy. He had a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.
3.His name was Nabal and his wife's name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was surly and mean in his dealings.
4.While David was in the desert, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
5.So he sent ten young men and said to them, "Go up to Nabal at Carmel and greet him in my name.
6.Say to him: 'Long life to you! Good health to you and to your household! and Good health to all that is yours!
7." 'Now I hear that it is sheep-shearing time. When your sheperds were with us, we did not mistreat them, and the whole time they were at Carmel nothing of theirs were missing.
8.Ask your own shepherds and they will tell you. Therefore be favorable toward my young men, since we come at a festive time. Please give your servants and your son David whatever you can find for them. ' "
9.When David's men arrived, they gave Nabal this message in David's name. Then they waited.
10.Nabla answered David's servants, "Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days.
11.Why should I take my bread and water, and the meart I have slaughtered for my servants, and give it to men coming from who knows where?"
12.David's men turned around and went back. When they arrived, they reported every word.
13.David said to this men, "Put on your swords!" So they put on their swords, and David put on his. About four hundred men went up with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.
14.One of the servants told Nabal's wife Abigail: "David sent messengers from the desert to give our master his greetings, but he hurled insults at them.
15.Yer these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing.
16.Night and day they were a wall around us all the time we were herding our sheep near them.
17.Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him."
18.Abigail lost no time, She took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred cakes of pressed raisins, and loaded them on donkeys.
19.Then she told her servants, "Go on ahead; I'ii follow you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
20.As she came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, there were David and his men descending toward her, and she met them.
21.David has just said, "It's been useless- all my watching over this fellow's property in the desert so that nothing of his was missing. He has paid me back evil for good.
22.May God deal with David, be it ever so severely, if by morning I leave alive one male of all who belong to him!"
