Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 25:2:

That woman was beautiful and wise/thoughtful, but her husband was rude/cruel and selfish. That man had a lot of wealth. That man’s sheep was almost three thousand and one thousand goats and those goats and sheep were looked after in the village/area of Carmel. That man used to prepare a festival for his people every season of cutting wool of sheep.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
