Nabhal or Nabal = "fool"
a man of Carmel who spurned David's messengers, then died of shock when he realised it might cause his death; his case was pleaded by his wife Abigail who became David's wife after his death
Ναβαλ.
Strong's Number H5037 matches the Hebrew נָבָל (nāḇāl),
which occurs 22 times in 18 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
The man’s name was Nabal, and his wife’s name, Abigail. The woman was intelligent and beautiful, but the man, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.
so David sent ten young men instructing them, “Go up to Carmel, and when you come to Nabal, greet him[fn] in my name.
Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is Jesse’s son? Many slaves these days are running away from their masters.
One of Nabal’s young men informed Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he screamed at them.
Then she said to her male servants, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband, Nabal.
“Now my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live — it is the LORD who kept you from participating in bloodshed and avenging yourself by your own hand—may your enemies and those who intend to harm my lord be like Nabal.
“Otherwise, as surely as the LORD God of Israel lives, who prevented me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, Nabal wouldn’t have had any males[fn] left by morning light.”
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the LORD who championed my cause against Nabal’s insults and restrained his servant from doing evil. The LORD brought Nabal’s evil deeds back on his own head.”
Then David sent messengers to speak to Abigail about marrying him.
David and his men stayed with Achish in Gath. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal’s widow.
David’s two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had also been kidnapped.
So David went there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail, the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.
