- a fool:
- "Now the nameª of the manª [was] Nabal;ª and the nameª of his wifeª Abigail:ª and [she was] a womanª of goodª understanding,ª and of a beautifulª countenance:ª but the manª [was] churlishª and evilª in his doings;ª and he¹ [was] of the house of Caleb.²¹" {1Sm 25:3} + "And Nabalª answeredª°¹ David'sª servants,ª and said,ª° Who¹ [is] David?ª and who¹ [is] the sonª of Jesse?ª there be manyª° servantsª now a daysª that break awayª° every manª fromª¹ his master.ª ... Shall I then takeª°¹ my bread,ª and my water,ª and my fleshª that¹ I have killedª° for my shearers,ª° and giveª° [it] unto men,²¹ whom¹ I knowª° not¹ whence¹¹¹ they¹ [be]?" {1Sm 25:10-11} + "Let²° not¹ my lord,ª I pray thee,¹ regardª¹¹¹ this¹ manª of Belial,ª [even] Nabal:ª for¹ as his nameª [is], so¹ [is] he;¹ Nabalª [is] his name,ª and follyª [is] with¹ him: but I¹ thine handmaidª sawª° not¹¹ the young menª of my lord,ª whom¹ thou didst send.ª°" {1Sm 25:25} + "And Abigailª cameª° to¹ Nabal;ª and, behold,¹ he held a feastª in his house,ª like the feastª of a king;ª and Nabal'sª heartª [was] merryª within¹ him, for he¹ [was] veryª¹ drunken:ª wherefore she toldª° him nothing,ª¹ lessª or more,ª until¹ the morningª light.ª ...
