1 Samuel 25:3
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
KJV
Nomen autem viri illius erat Nabal. Et nomen uxoris ejus Abigail : eratque mulier illa prudentissima, et speciosa : porro vir ejus durus, et pessimus, et malitiosus : erat autem de genere Caleb.
Vulgate
καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ Ναβάλ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ Ἀβειγαία· καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὴ συνέσει καὶ ἀγαθὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος σκληρὸς καὶ πονηρὸς ἐν ἐπιτηδεύμασιν, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος κυνικός.
LXX
