2 Il y avait à Maon un homme fort riche, possédant des biens à Carmel; il avait trois mille brebis et mille chèvres, et il se trouvait à Carmel pour la tonte de ses brebis.

3 Le nom de cet homme était Nabal, et sa femme s’appelait Abigaïl; c’était une femme de bon sens et belle de figure, mais l’homme était dur et méchant dans ses actions. Il descendait de Caleb.

4 David apprit au désert que Nabal tondait ses brebis.
