David and Abigail

² Now there was a man in ^(A)Maon whose work was in ^(B)Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and one thousand goats. And it happened, while ^(C)he was shearing his sheep in Carmel ³ (now the man’s name was Nabal, and his ^(D)wife’s name was Abigail. And the woman was good in insight and beautiful in appearance, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings, and he was ^(E)a Calebite), ⁴ that David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
