معون میں کالب کے خاندان کا ایک آدمی رہتا تھا جس کا نام نابال تھا۔ وہ نہایت امیر تھا۔ کرمل کے قریب اُس کی 3,000 بھیڑیں اور 1,000 بکریاں تھیں۔ بیوی کا نام ابی جیل تھا۔ وہ ذہین بھی تھی اور خوب صورت بھی۔ اُس کے مقابلے میں نابال سخت مزاج اور کمینہ تھا۔ ایک دن نابال اپنی بھیڑوں کے بال کترنے کے لئے کرمل آیا۔ جب داؤد کو خبر ملی
