1 Samuel 25:20-35

25:20

And it was [so, as] she rode
<07392> (8802)

on the ass
<02543>_,

that she came down
<03381> (8802)

by the covert
<05643>

of the hill
<02022>_,

and, behold, David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

came down
<03381> (8802)

against
<07125> (8800)

her; and she met
<06298> (8799)

them.

25:21

Now David
<01732>

had said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely in vain
<08267>

have I kept
<08104> (8804)

all that this
<02088>

[fellow] hath in the wilderness
<04057>_,

so that nothing
<03972>

was missed
<06485> (8738)

of all that [pertained] unto him: and he hath requited
<07725> (8686)

me evil
<07451>

for good
<02896>_.

25:22

So
<03541>

and more
<03254> (8686)

also do
<06213> (8799)

God
<0430>

unto the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of David
<01732>_,

if I leave
<07604> (8686)

of all that [pertain] to him by
<05704>

the morning
<01242>

light
<0216>

any that pisseth
<08366> (8688)

against the wall
<07023>_.

25:23

And when Abigail
<026>

saw
<07200> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and lighted off
<03381> (8799)

the ass
<02543>_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

before
<0639>

David
<01732>

on her face
<06440>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

herself to the ground
<0776>_,

25:24

And fell
<05307> (8799)

at his feet
<07272>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Upon me, my lord
<0113>_,

[upon] me [let this] iniquity
<05771>

[be]: and let thine handmaid
<0519>_,

I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8762)

in thine audience
<0241>_,

and hear
<08085> (8798)

the words
<01697>

of thine handmaid
<0589>_.

{audience: Heb. ears}

25:25

Let
<07760> (8799)

not my lord
<0113>_,

I pray thee, regard
<03820>

this man
<0376>

of Belial
<01100>_,

[even] Nabal
<05037>_:

for as his name
<08034>

[is], so [is] he; Nabal
<05037>

[is] his name
<08034>_,

and folly
<05039>

[is] with him: but I thine handmaid
<0519>

saw
<07200> (8804)

not the young men
<05288>

of my lord
<0113>_,

whom thou didst send
<07971> (8804)_.

{regard: Heb. lay it to his heart} {Nabal: that is, Fool}

25:26

Now therefore, my lord
<0113>_,

[as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

and [as] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

seeing the LORD
<03068>

hath withholden
<04513> (8804)

thee from coming
<0935> (8800)

to [shed] blood
<01818>_,

and from avenging
<03467> (8687)

thyself with thine own hand
<03027>_,

now let thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and they that seek
<01245> (8764)

evil
<07451>

to my lord
<0113>_,

be as Nabal
<05037>_.

{avenging...: Heb. saving thyself}

25:27

And now this blessing
<01293>

which thine handmaid
<08198>

hath brought
<0935> (8689)

unto my lord
<0113>_,

let it even be given
<05414> (8738)

unto the young men
<05288>

that follow
<01980> (8693) <07272>

my lord
<0113>_.

{blessing: or, present} {follow...: Heb. walk at the feet of, etc}

25:28

I pray thee, forgive
<05375> (8798)

the trespass
<06588>

of thine handmaid
<0519>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

will certainly
<06213> (8800)

make
<06213> (8799)

my lord
<0113>

a sure
<0539> (8737)

house
<01004>_;

because my lord
<0113>

fighteth
<03898> (8737)

the battles
<04421>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and evil
<07451>

hath not been found
<04672> (8735)

in thee [all] thy days
<03117>_.

25:29

Yet a man
<0120>

is risen
<06965> (8799)

to pursue
<07291> (8800)

thee, and to seek
<01245> (8763)

thy soul
<05315>_:

but the soul
<05315>

of my lord
<0113>

shall be bound
<06887> (8803)

in the bundle
<06872>

of life
<02416>

with the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_;

and the souls
<05315>

of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

them shall he sling out
<07049> (8762)_,

[as out] of the middle
<08432> <03709>

of a sling
<07050>_.

{as out...: Heb. in the midst of the bought of a sling}

25:30

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD
<03068>

shall have done
<06213> (8799)

to my lord
<0113>

according to all the good
<02896>

that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

concerning thee, and shall have appointed
<06680> (8765)

thee ruler
<05057>

over Israel
<03478>_;

25:31

That this shall be no grief
<06330>

unto thee, nor offence
<04383>

of heart
<03820>

unto my lord
<0113>_,

either that thou hast shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>

causeless
<02600>_,

or that my lord
<0113>

hath avenged
<03467> (8687)

himself: but when the LORD
<03068>

shall have dealt well
<03190> (8689)

with my lord
<0113>_,

then remember
<02142> (8804)

thine handmaid
<0519>_.

{no grief: Heb. no staggering, or, stumbling}

25:32

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Abigail
<026>_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which sent
<07971> (8804)

thee this day
<03117>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

me:

25:33

And blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thy advice
<02940>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thou, which hast kept
<03607> (8804)

me this day
<03117>

from coming
<0935> (8800)

to [shed] blood
<01818>_,

and from avenging
<03467> (8687)

myself with mine own hand
<03027>_.

25:34

For in very deed
<0199>_,

[as] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

liveth
<02416>_,

which hath kept me back
<04513> (8804)

from hurting
<07489> (8687)

thee, except
<03884>

thou hadst hasted
<04116> (8765)

and come
<0935> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

me, surely there had not been left
<03498> (8738)

unto Nabal
<05037>

by the morning
<01242>

light
<0216>

any that pisseth
<08366> (8688)

against the wall
<07023>_.

25:35

So David
<01732>

received
<03947> (8799)

of her hand
<03027>

[that] which she had brought
<0935> (8689)

him, and said
<0559> (8804)

unto her, Go up
<05927> (8798)

in peace
<07965>

to thine house
<01004>_;

see
<07200> (8798)_,

I have hearkened
<08085> (8804)

to thy voice
<06963>_,

and have accepted
<05375> (8799)

thy person
<06440>_.
