'Shearing' in the Bible

There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,

He said, "Take them alive!" They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn't leave any of them.
