3 And the man’s name was Naʹbal,+ and his wife’s name was Abʹi·gail.+ And the wife was good in discretion+ and beautiful in form, but the husband was harsh and bad in his practices;+ and he was a Caʹleb·ite.+

7 And idle men,+ good-for-nothing fellows,+ kept collecting themselves together by him. Finally they proved superior to Re·ho·boʹam the son of Solʹo·mon, when Re·ho·boʹam+ himself happened to be young and fainthearted,+ and he did not hold his own against them.

7 As for the unprincipled man, his instruments are bad;+ he himself has given counsel for acts of loose conduct,+ to wreck the afflicted ones with false sayings,+ even when someone poor speaks what is right.
