1 Sam. 25:3 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
1 Sam. 25:2      1 Sam. 25:4

First Samuel 25:3

The man's name was Naval, and his wife's name was Abigail [meaning "my father's joy"], and the woman was wise (Hebr. tóv sechel) and beautiful, but the man was cruel and evil in his deeds. He was of the house of Caleb.
[The Calebites were a respected tribe in Judah who, among other things, built Bethlehem, David's hometown, see 1 Chron. 2:51. Naval means fool or wicked. Abigail is described with the word understanding, whose verb form is used in 1 Sam 18:5 about David. This gives a subtle hint that there is a connection between them. This is reinforced by the phrase "brutal and wicked" driving a wedge between Naval and his wife, who is "good in understanding."]
