AbigailCalebNabal
MarriageIntegrity

1 Så døde Samuel, og hele Israel samlet seg og sørget over ham, og de begravde ham ved hans hus i Rama. Og David sto opp og dro ned til ørkenen Paran.

2 Det var en mann i Maon som hadde sin virksomhet i Karmel; og denne mannen var svært rik, eide tre tusen sauer og tusen geiter. En anledning kom da han var i ferd med å klippe sauene sine i Karmel—

For mannens navn var Nabal, og hans kones navn var Abigail. Kvinnen var klok og vakker, men mannen var hard og uærlig i sine handlinger, og han var en kalebitt.

4 Da hørte David i ørkenen at Nabal klippet sine sauer.

5 David sendte ti unge menn og instruerte dem, "Gå opp til Karmel, besøk Nabal, og gi hilsener i mitt navn.
