Sheep » Feasting at the time of shearing
Two full years later, Absalom took some men to Baal-hazor near Ephraim to shear his sheep. He also invited all of the king's sons to come.
Abigail returned to Nabal, and he was there in his house holding a festival like the festival of a king. Nabal's heart was glad, and he was very drunk, so she didn't tell him anything at all until morning.
Should I take my food, my water, and my meat that I've slaughtered for my shearers and give it to men who came from who knows where?"
