1 Samuel 25:24-44

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}
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_;
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}
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:
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
And Abigail
<026>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Nabal
<05037>_;
and, behold, he held a feast
<04960>
in his house
<01004>_,
like the feast
<04960>
of a king
<04428>_;
and Nabal's
<05037>
heart
<03820>
[was] merry
<02896>
within him, for he [was] very
<03966>
drunken
<07910>_:
wherefore she told
<05046> (8689)
him nothing
<01697>_,
less
<06996>
or more
<01419>_,
until the morning
<01242>
light
<0216>_.
But it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,
when the wine
<03196>
was gone out
<03318> (8800)
of Nabal
<05037>_,
and his wife
<0802>
had told
<05046> (8686)
him these things
<01697>_,
that his heart
<03820>
died
<04191> (8799)
within
<07130>
him, and he became [as] a stone
<068>_.
And it came to pass about ten
<06235>
days
<03117>
[after], that the LORD
<03068>
smote
<05062> (8799)
Nabal
<05037>_,
that he died
<04191> (8799)_.
And when David
<01732>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that Nabal
<05037>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>_,
that hath pleaded
<07378> (8804)
the cause
<07379>
of my reproach
<02781>
from the hand
<03027>
of Nabal
<05037>_,
and hath kept
<02820> (8804)
his servant
<05650>
from evil
<07451>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath returned
<07725> (8689)
the wickedness
<07451>
of Nabal
<05037>
upon his own head
<07218>_.
And David
<01732>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and communed
<01696> (8762)
with Abigail
<026>_,
to take
<03947> (8800)
her to him to wife
<0802>_.
And when the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>
were come
<0935> (8799)
to Abigail
<026>
to Carmel
<03760>_,
they spake
<01696> (8762)
unto her, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
David
<01732>
sent
<07971> (8804)
us unto thee, to take
<03947> (8800)
thee to him to wife
<0802>_.
And she arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
herself on [her] face
<0639>
to the earth
<0776>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, [let] thine handmaid
<0519>
[be] a servant
<08198>
to wash
<07364> (8800)
the feet
<07272>
of the servants
<05650>
of my lord
<0113>_.
And Abigail
<026>
hasted
<04116> (8762)_,
and arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and rode
<07392> (8799)
upon an ass
<02543>_,
with five
<02568>
damsels
<05291>
of hers that went
<01980> (8802)
after
<07272>
her; and she went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
the messengers
<04397>
of David
<01732>_,
and became his wife
<0802>_.
{after her: Heb. at her feet}
David
<01732>
also took
<03947> (8804)
Ahinoam
<0293>
of Jezreel
<03157>_;
and they were also both
<08147>
of them his wives
<0802>_.
But Saul
<07586>
had given
<05414> (8804)
Michal
<04324>
his daughter
<01323>_,
David's
<01732>
wife
<0802>_,
to Phalti
<06406>
the son
<01121>
of Laish
<03919>_,
which [was] of Gallim
<01554>_.
{Phalti: also called, Phaltiel}
