1 Samuel 25

And Samuel
<08050>

died
<04191> (8799)_;

and all the Israelites
<03478>

were gathered together
<06908> (8735)_,

and lamented
<05594> (8799)

him, and buried
<06912> (8799)

him in his house
<01004>

at Ramah
<07414>_.

And David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went down
<03381> (8799)

to the wilderness
<04057>

of Paran
<06290>_.

And [there was] a man
<0376>

in Maon
<04584>_,

whose possessions
<04639>

[were] in Carmel
<03760>_;

and the man
<0376>

[was] very
<03966>

great
<01419>_,

and he had three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

sheep
<06629>_,

and a thousand
<0505>

goats
<05795>_:

and he was shearing
<01494> (8800)

his sheep
<06629>

in Carmel
<03760>_.

{possessions: or, business}

Now the name
<08034>

of the man
<0376>

[was] Nabal
<05037>_;

and the name
<08034>

of his wife
<0802>

Abigail
<026>_:

and [she was] a woman
<0802>

of good
<02896>

understanding
<07922>_,

and of a beautiful
<03303>

countenance
<08389>_:

but the man
<0376>

[was] churlish
<07186>

and evil
<07451>

in his doings
<04611>_;

and he [was] of the house of Caleb
<03614>_.

And David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

that Nabal
<05037>

did shear
<01494> (8802)

his sheep
<06629>_.

And David
<01732>

sent out
<07971> (8799)

ten
<06235>

young men
<05288>_,

and David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the young men
<05288>_,

Get you up
<05927> (8798)

to Carmel
<03760>_,

and go
<0935> (8804)

to Nabal
<05037>_,

and greet
<07592> (8804) <07965>

him in my name
<08034>_:

{greet...: Heb. ask him in my name of peace}

And thus shall ye say
<0559> (8804)

to him that liveth
<02416>

[in prosperity], Peace
<07965>

[be] both to thee, and peace
<07965>

[be] to thine house
<01004>_,

and peace
<07965>

[be] unto all that thou hast.

And now I have heard
<08085> (8804)

that thou hast shearers
<01494> (8802)_:

now thy shepherds
<07462> (8802)

which were with us, we hurt
<03637> (8689)

them not, neither was there ought
<03972>

missing
<06485> (8738)

unto them, all the while
<03117>

they were in Carmel
<03760>_.

{hurt: Heb. shamed}

Ask
<07592> (8798)

thy young men
<05288>_,

and they will shew
<05046> (8686)

thee. Wherefore let the young men
<05288>

find
<04672> (8799)

favour
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_:

for we come
<0935> (8804)

in a good
<02896>

day
<03117>_:

give
<05414> (8798)_,

I pray thee, whatsoever cometh
<04672> (8799)

to thine hand
<03027>

unto thy servants
<05650>_,

and to thy son
<01121>

David
<01732>_.

And when David's
<01732>

young men
<05288>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

they spake
<01696> (8762)

to Nabal
<05037>

according to all those words
<01697>

in the name
<08034>

of David
<01732>_,

and ceased
<05117> (8799)_.

{ceased: Heb. rested}

And Nabal
<05037>

answered
<06030> (8799)

David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] David
<01732>_?

and who [is] the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_?

there be many
<07231> (8804)

servants
<05650>

now a days
<03117>

that break away
<06555> (8693)

every man
<0376>

from
<06440>

his master
<0113>_.

Shall I then take
<03947> (8804)

my bread
<03899>_,

and my water
<04325>_,

and my flesh
<02878>

that I have killed
<02873> (8804)

for my shearers
<01494> (8802)_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

[it] unto men
<0582>_,

whom I know
<03045> (8804)

not whence they [be]? {flesh: Heb. slaughter}

So David's
<01732>

young men
<05288>

turned
<02015> (8799)

their way
<01870>_,

and went again
<07725> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

him all those sayings
<01697>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his men
<0582>_,

Gird ye on
<02296> (8798)

every man
<0376>

his sword
<02719>_.

And they girded on
<02296> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his sword
<02719>_;

and David
<01732>

also girded on
<02296> (8799)

his sword
<02719>_:

and there went up
<05927> (8799)

after
<0310>

David
<01732>

about four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_;

and two hundred
<03967>

abode
<03427> (8804)

by the stuff
<03627>_.

But one
<0259>

of the young men
<05288>

told
<05046> (8689)

Abigail
<026>_,

Nabal's
<05037>

wife
<0802>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

out of the wilderness
<04057>

to salute
<01288> (8763)

our master
<0113>_;

and he railed
<05860> (8799)

on them. {railed...: Heb. flew upon them}

But the men
<0582>

[were] very
<03966>

good
<02896>

unto us, and we were not hurt
<03637> (8717)_,

neither missed
<06485> (8804)

we any thing
<03972>_,

as long as
<03117>

we were conversant
<01980> (8694)

with them, when we were in the fields
<07704>_:

{hurt: Heb. shamed}

They were a wall
<02346>

unto us both by night
<03915>

and day
<03119>_,

all the while
<03117>

we were with them keeping
<07462> (8802)

the sheep
<06629>_.

Now therefore know
<03045> (8798)

and consider
<07200> (8798)

what thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)_;

for evil
<07451>

is determined
<03615> (8804)

against our master
<0113>_,

and against all his household
<01004>_:

for he [is such] a son
<01121>

of Belial
<01100>_,

that [a man] cannot speak
<01696> (8763)

to him.

Then Abigail
<026>

made haste
<04116> (8762)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

two hundred
<03967>

loaves
<03899>_,

and two
<08147>

bottles
<05035>

of wine
<03196>_,

and five
<02568>

sheep
<06629>

ready dressed
<06213> (8803)_,

and five
<02568>

measures
<05429>

of parched
<07039>

[corn], and an hundred
<03967>

clusters of raisins
<06778>_,

and two hundred
<03967>

cakes
<01690>

of figs, and laid
<07760> (8799)

[them] on asses
<02543>_.

{clusters: or, lumps}

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto her servants
<05288>_,

Go on
<05674> (8798)

before
<06440>

me; behold, I come
<0935> (8802)

after
<0310>

you. But she told
<05046> (8689)

not her husband
<0376>

Nabal
<05037>_.

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.

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>_.

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>_.

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>_,

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)
