1 Samuel 17:32

17:32 David said to Saul, “Don’t let anyone be discouraged. ¹  Your servant will go and fight this Philistine!”

1 Samuel 25:3

25:3 The man’s name was Nabal, ²  and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was both wise ³  and beautiful, but the man was harsh and his deeds were evil. He was a Calebite.

[17:32]  ¹ tn Heb “Let not the heart of a man fall upon him.” The LXX reads “my lord,” instead of “a man.”

[25:3]  ² sn The name נָבָל (Nabal) means “foolish” or “senseless” in Hebrew, and as an adjective the word is used especially of persons who have no perception of ethical or religious claims. It is an apt name for this character, who certainly typifies such behavior.

[25:3]  ³ tn Heb “good of insight”; KJV “of good understanding”; NAB, NIV, TEV “intelligent”; NRSV “clever.”
