Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

II. נָבָל proper name, masculine (on popular etymology see 1 Samuel 25:25 below); — a churlish man of Carmel, whose widow David married 1 Samuel 25:3,4,5,9,10,14,19,25 (twice in verse) (כִּשְׁמוֺ כֶּןהֿ֔וּא נָבָל שְׁמוֺ וּנְּבָלָה עִמּוֺ), 1 Samuel 25:26 10t. 1Samuel + 2 Samuel 2:2; 2 Samuel 3:3. ᵐ5 Ναβαλ.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

נָבָל fem. נְבָלָה adj.

(1) stupid, foolish, Proverbs 17:7, 21 Proverbs 17:21; Jeremiah 17:11. More often

(2) impious, abandoned, wicked (comp. אֱוִיל), 1 Samuel 25:25; 2 Samuel 3:33 specially impious, ungodly. Job 2:10; Psalms 14:1, 53:2, אָמַר נָבָל בְּלִבּוֹ אֵין אֱלֹהִים “the fool saith in his heart, there is no God.” The Arabs use with the same extent of signification the word كافر.

(3) [Nabal], pr.n. m. 1 Samuel 25:3, seq.
