1 SAMUEL 25:2 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.”
Now there was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel — David flees to the wilderness, his name increasingly pursued by Saul's hostility. Nabal (נָבָל), whose very name means 'fool' in Hebrew, embodies the spiritual emptiness and hardheartedness of those who oppose the LORD's anointed. The contrast between David's desperate wandering and Nabal's settled wealth exposes the spiritual poverty of the wicked, regardless of material abundance.
