WEB

25Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal[+] is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent.

KJV

25Let[+] not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

BSB

25My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal,[+] for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.

FBV

25Please don't concern yourself with this worthless man Nabal. His name means ‘fool,’ and he is really foolish! As for me, your servant, I didn't even see the men you sent.
