The wife of Nabal, a wealthy and surly man of Carmel; she was “intelligent and had a beautiful face” (1 Samuel 25:3). When Nabal insulted David’s men, she quickly brought food to David and humbly asked him not to take vengeance, and he said, “Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness” (1 Samuel 25:14–35). When Nabal died, David married her, and she bore him a son, Chileab (1 Samuel 25:36–42; 2 Samuel 3:3).
