1. 1 Samuel 25:2–3 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

Why is Nabal’s property and wealth mentioned before his name?

1 Samuel 25:2–3 (NEG79)

2 Il y avait à Maon un homme fort riche, possédant des biens à Carmel; il avait trois mille brebis et mille chèvres, et il se trouvait à Carmel pour la tonte de ses brebis.

The mention of Nabal’s possessions before his person shows that his life was determined by his property. He lived to defend his property and he died after extravagant enjoyment of his property.1
