Wesley: 1Sa 25:28 - -- That is, which I have taken upon myself, and which, if it be punished, the punishment will reach to me.

That is, which I have taken upon myself, and which, if it be punished, the punishment will reach to me.

Wesley: 1Sa 25:28 - -- Will give the kingdom to thee, and to thy house for ever, as he hath promised thee. And therefore let God's kindness to thee, make thee gentle and mer...

Will give the kingdom to thee, and to thy house for ever, as he hath promised thee. And therefore let God's kindness to thee, make thee gentle and merciful to others; do not sully thy approaching glory with the stain of innocent blood; but consider, that it is the glory of a king, to profit by offences: and that it will be thy loss to cut off such as will shortly be thy subjects.

Wesley: 1Sa 25:28 - -- For the Lord, and for the people of the Lord against their enemies; especially, the Philistines. And as this is thy proper work, and therein thou maye...

For the Lord, and for the people of the Lord against their enemies; especially, the Philistines. And as this is thy proper work, and therein thou mayest expect God's blessing; so it is not thy work to draw thy sword in thy own private quarrel against any of the people of the Lord; and God will not bless thee in it.

Wesley: 1Sa 25:28 - -- Though thou hast been charged with many crimes by Saul and others; yet thy innocency is evident to all men: do not therefore by this cruel act, justif...

Though thou hast been charged with many crimes by Saul and others; yet thy innocency is evident to all men: do not therefore by this cruel act, justify thine enemies reproaches, or blemish thy great and just reputation.

Clarke: 1Sa 25:28 - -- And evil hath not been found in thee - Thou hast not committed any act of this kind hitherto.

And evil hath not been found in thee - Thou hast not committed any act of this kind hitherto.

Barnes: 1Sa 25:28 - -- For the Lord will make ... a sure house - Compare 1Sa 2:35, and 2Sa 7:16; 1Ki 11:38. Abigail’ s firm persuasion of David’ s kingdom s...

For the Lord will make ... a sure house - Compare 1Sa 2:35, and 2Sa 7:16; 1Ki 11:38. Abigail’ s firm persuasion of David’ s kingdom stands upon the same footing as Rahab’ s conviction of God’ s gift of Canaan to the Israelites Jos 2:9-13. Both testified to God’ s revelation and their own faith. This is doubtless the reason why Abigail’ s speech is recorded.

Poole: 1Sa 25:28 - -- The trespass of thine handmaid i.e. which I have taken upon myself, 1Sa 25:21 , and which, if it be not pardoned, but punished, the punishment will r...

The trespass of thine handmaid i.e. which I have taken upon myself, 1Sa 25:21 , and which, if it be not pardoned, but punished, the punishment will reach to me.

Will certainly make my lord a sure house i.e. will give the kingdom to thee, and to thy house for ever, as he hath promised thee. And therefore let God’ s great kindness to thee make thee gentle and merciful to others; do not sully thy approaching glory with the stain of innocent blood; but consider that it is the glory of a king (which thou art by God’ s appointment, and shall ere long actually be) to pass by offences, and that it will be thy loss to cut off such as will shortly be thy subjects.

The battles of the Lord i.e. for the Lord, and for the people of the Lord, against their enemies, especially the Philistines. And as that this is thy proper work, and therein thou mayst expect God’ s blessing and help; so it is not thy work to draw thy sword in thy own private quarrel against any of the people of the Lord, and God will not bless thee in it.

Evil hath not been found in thee all thy days though thou hast been oft aspersed, and charged with many critics, by Saul and others; yet thy innocency hath been and is evident to all men: do not therefore now by this cruel act of vengeance justify thine enemies’ reproaches, nor blemish thy great and just reputation.

Haydock: 1Sa 25:28 - -- House. Thy family shall long continue in the enjoyment of the royal power. Chaldean, "an established kingdom." (Haydock) --- Lord, as his genera...

House. Thy family shall long continue in the enjoyment of the royal power. Chaldean, "an established kingdom." (Haydock) ---

Lord, as his general. ---

Evil. Do no manner of injustice. Hebrew, "and evil hast not been found," &c. Hitherto thy life has been irreproachable. (Calmet)

Gill: 1Sa 25:28 - -- I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid,.... The trespasses, as the Targum, either the sin of her husband, she had taken upon herself, or ...

I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid,.... The trespasses, as the Targum, either the sin of her husband, she had taken upon herself, or her boldness in troubling him with her petitions and solicitations, and even with the present she had brought:

for the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house; or a firm kingdom, as the Targum; would raise him to the kingdom of Israel, and establish it in his posterity, that it should not be taken from him, as it would be from Saul:

because my lord fighteth the battles of the Lord; the battles of the people of the Lord, as the Targum, of the people of Israel against the Philistines; which he had often done with success, the Lord being with him, and prospering him and therefore would firmly settle him on the throne, and continue the kingdom in his posterity:

and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days; no unjust action had been committed by him against his king and country, however he had been reproached and calumniated; and she hoped that therefore none would be done by him now to stain so fair a character.
