Read this first: 1 Samuel 25:25
Apologising to David, Abigail mocks Nabal's godless idiocy by noting his name lends itself to being twisted into the word 'fool'. But should she dishonour her husband like this? Yes! She's not wrongly gossiping or moaning about him, but cleaning up the toxic mess he's made: he deserves it. So don't be angry if another points out when you're being foolish, be ashamed.
Based on the sermon “Unexpected encounter”
