25 My lord should not pay attention to this wicked man Nabal. He simply lives up to his name! His name means ‘fool,’ and he is indeed foolish! But I, your servant, did not see the servants my lord sent.

Darby

25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal^D1907; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly^D1908 is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

Darby Bible Notes

Nabal - See ver. 3. folly - Or 'impiety.' The Hebrew word is from the same root as the name 'Nabal.'
