1 Samuel 25:1-42
And Samuel
<08050>
<08050>
and all the Israelites
<03478>
<03478>
him in his house
<01004>
<01004>
at Ramah
<07414>_.
<07414>_.
And David
<01732>
<01732>
to the wilderness
<04057>
<04057>
of Paran
<06290>_.
<06290>_.
And [there was] a man
<0376>
<0376>
in Maon
<04584>_,
<04584>_,
whose possessions
<04639>
<04639>
[were] in Carmel
<03760>_;
<03760>_;
and the man
<0376>
<0376>
[was] very
<03966>
<03966>
great
<01419>_,
<01419>_,
and he had three
<07969>
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
<0505>
sheep
<06629>_,
<06629>_,
and a thousand
<0505>
<0505>
goats
<05795>_:
<05795>_:
his sheep
<06629>
<06629>
in Carmel
<03760>_.
{possessions: or, business}<03760>_.
Now the name
<08034>
<08034>
of the man
<0376>
<0376>
[was] Nabal
<05037>_;
<05037>_;
and the name
<08034>
<08034>
of his wife
<0802>
<0802>
Abigail
<026>_:
<026>_:
and [she was] a woman
<0802>
<0802>
of good
<02896>
<02896>
understanding
<07922>_,
<07922>_,
and of a beautiful
<03303>
<03303>
countenance
<08389>_:
<08389>_:
but the man
<0376>
<0376>
[was] churlish
<07186>
<07186>
and evil
<07451>
<07451>
in his doings
<04611>_;
<04611>_;
and he [was] of the house of Caleb
<03614>_.
<03614>_.
And David
<01732>
<01732>
ten
<06235>
<06235>
young men
<05288>_,
<05288>_,
and David

<05288>_,
to Carmel
<03760>_,
<03760>_,
to Nabal
<05037>_,
<05037>_,
him in my name
<08034>_:
{greet...: Heb. ask him in my name of peace}<08034>_:
to him that liveth
<02416>
<02416>
[in prosperity], Peace
<07965>
<07965>
[be] both to thee, and peace
<07965>
<07965>
[be] to thine house
<01004>_,
<01004>_,
and peace
<07965>
[be] unto all that thou hast.<07965>
them not, neither was there ought
<03972>
<03972>
unto them, all the while
<03117>
<03117>
they were in Carmel
<03760>_.
{hurt: Heb. shamed}<03760>_.
thy young men
<05288>_,
<05288>_,
thee. Wherefore let the young men
<05288>
<05288>
favour
<02580>
<02580>
in thine eyes
<05869>_:
<05869>_:
in a good
<02896>
<02896>
day
<03117>_:
<03117>_:
to thine hand
<03027>
<03027>
unto thy servants
<05650>_,
<05650>_,
and to thy son
<01121>
<01121>
David
<01732>_.
<01732>_.
And when David's
<01732>
<01732>
young men
<05288>
<05288>

<05037>
<05037>
according to all those words

{ceased: Heb. rested}<01732>_,
And Nabal

<05037>
David's
<01732>
<01732>

<05650>_,
Who [is] David

and my flesh
<02878>
<02878>
[it] unto men
<0582>_,
not whence they [be]? {flesh: Heb. slaughter}<0582>_,
And David
<01732>
<01732>
unto his men
<0582>_,
<0582>_,
every man
<0376>
<0376>

<02719>_.
every man

<02719>_;
and David
<01732>
<01732>
his sword
<02719>_:
<02719>_:
after
<0310>
<0310>
David
<01732>
<01732>
about four
<0702>
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
<03967>
men
<0376>_;
<0376>_;
and two hundred
<03967>
<03967>
by the stuff
<03627>_.
<03627>_.
But one
<0259>
<0259>
of the young men
<05288>
<05288>
Abigail
<026>_,
<026>_,
Nabal's
<05037>
<05037>
wife
<0802>_,
<0802>_,
Behold, David
<01732>
<01732>
messengers
<04397>
<04397>
out of the wilderness
<04057>
<04057>
our master
<0113>_;
on them. {railed...: Heb. flew upon them}<0113>_;
But the men
<0582>
<0582>
[were] very
<03966>
<03966>
good
<02896>
<02896>
we any thing
<03972>_,
<03972>_,
as long as
<03117>
<03117>
with them, when we were in the fields
<07704>_:
{hurt: Heb. shamed}<07704>_:
They were a wall
<02346>
<02346>
unto us both by night
<03915>
<03915>
and day
<03119>_,
<03119>_,
all the while
<03117>
<03117>
the sheep
<06629>_.
<06629>_.
for evil
<07451>
<07451>
against our master
<0113>_,
<0113>_,
and against all his household
<01004>_:
<01004>_:
for he [is such] a son
<01121>
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_,
to him.<01100>_,
Then Abigail
<026>
<026>
two hundred
<03967>
<03967>
loaves
<03899>_,
<03899>_,
and two
<08147>
<08147>
bottles
<05035>
<05035>
of wine
<03196>_,
<03196>_,
and five
<02568>
<02568>
sheep
<06629>
<06629>
and five
<02568>
<02568>
measures
<05429>
<05429>
of parched
<07039>
<07039>
[corn], and an hundred
<03967>
<03967>
clusters of raisins
<06778>_,
<06778>_,
and two hundred
<03967>
<03967>
cakes
<01690>
<01690>
[them] on asses
<02543>_.
{clusters: or, lumps}<02543>_.
on the ass
<02543>_,
<02543>_,
by the covert
<05643>
<05643>
of the hill
<02022>_,
<02022>_,
and, behold, David
<01732>
<01732>
and his men
<0582>
them.<0582>
Now David
<01732>
<01732>
Surely in vain
<08267>
<08267>
all that this
<02088>
<02088>
[fellow] hath in the wilderness
<04057>_,
<04057>_,
so that nothing
<03972>
<03972>
me evil
<07451>
<07451>
for good
<02896>_.
<02896>_.
So
<03541>
<03541>
God
<0430>
<0430>
of David
<01732>_,
<01732>_,
of all that [pertain] to him by
<05704>
<05704>
the morning
<01242>
<01242>
light
<0216>
<0216>
against the wall
<07023>_.
<07023>_.
And when Abigail
<026>
<026>
David
<01732>_,
<01732>_,
the ass
<02543>_,
<02543>_,
before
<0639>
<0639>
David
<01732>
<01732>
on her face
<06440>_,
<06440>_,
herself to the ground
<0776>_,
<0776>_,
at his feet
<07272>_,
<07272>_,
Upon me, my lord
<0113>_,
<0113>_,
[upon] me [let this] iniquity
<05771>
<05771>
[be]: and let thine handmaid
<0519>_,
<0519>_,
in thine audience
<0241>_,
<0241>_,
the words
<01697>
<01697>
of thine handmaid
<0589>_.
{audience: Heb. ears}<0589>_.
not my lord
<0113>_,
<0113>_,
I pray thee, regard
<03820>
<03820>
this man
<0376>
<0376>
of Belial
<01100>_,
<01100>_,
[even] Nabal
<05037>_:
<05037>_:
for as his name
<08034>
<08034>
[is], so [is] he; Nabal
<05037>
<05037>
[is] his name
<08034>_,
<08034>_,
and folly
<05039>
<05039>
[is] with him: but I thine handmaid
<0519>
<0519>
not the young men
<05288>
<05288>
of my lord
<0113>_,
{regard: Heb. lay it to his heart} {Nabal: that is, Fool}<0113>_,
Now therefore, my lord
<0113>_,
<0113>_,
[as] the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
<02416>_,
and [as] thy soul
<05315>
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
<02416>_,
seeing the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
to [shed] blood
<01818>_,
<01818>_,
thyself with thine own hand
<03027>_,
<03027>_,
evil
<07451>
<07451>
to my lord
<0113>_,
<0113>_,
be as Nabal
<05037>_.
{avenging...: Heb. saving thyself}<05037>_.
And now this blessing
<01293>
<01293>
which thine handmaid
<08198>
<08198>
unto my lord
<0113>_,
<0113>_,
unto the young men
<05288>
<05288>
my lord
<0113>_.
{blessing: or, present} {follow...: Heb. walk at the feet of, etc}<0113>_.
the trespass
<06588>
<06588>
of thine handmaid
<0519>_:
<0519>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
my lord
<0113>
<0113>
house
<01004>_;
<01004>_;
because my lord
<0113>
<0113>
the battles
<04421>
<04421>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
<03068>_,
and evil
<07451>
<07451>
in thee [all] thy days
<03117>_.
<03117>_.
Yet a man
<0120>
<0120>
thy soul
<05315>_:
<05315>_:
but the soul
<05315>
<05315>
of my lord
<0113>
<0113>
in the bundle
<06872>
<06872>
of life
<02416>
<02416>
with the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_;
<0430>_;
and the souls
<05315>
<05315>
of a sling
<07050>_.
{as out...: Heb. in the midst of the bought of a sling}<07050>_.
And it shall come to pass, when the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
to my lord
<0113>
<0113>
according to all the good
<02896>
<02896>
thee ruler
<05057>
<05057>
over Israel
<03478>_;
<03478>_;
That this shall be no grief
<06330>
<06330>
unto thee, nor offence
<04383>
<04383>
of heart
<03820>
<03820>
unto my lord
<0113>_,
<0113>_,
blood
<01818>
<01818>
causeless
<02600>_,
<02600>_,
or that my lord
<0113>
<0113>
himself: but when the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
with my lord
<0113>_,
<0113>_,
thine handmaid
<0519>_.
{no grief: Heb. no staggering, or, stumbling}<0519>_.
And David
<01732>
<01732>
to Abigail
<026>_,
<026>_,
[be] the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
God
<0430>
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
<03478>_,
thee this day
<03117>
me:<03117>
[be] thy advice
<02940>_,
<02940>_,
me this day
<03117>
<03117>
to [shed] blood
<01818>_,
<01818>_,
myself with mine own hand
<03027>_.
<03027>_.
For in very deed
<0199>_,
<0199>_,
[as] the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
God
<0430>
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
<03478>
liveth
<02416>_,
<02416>_,
thee, except
<03884>
<03884>
unto Nabal
<05037>
<05037>
by the morning
<01242>
<01242>
light
<0216>
<0216>
against the wall
<07023>_.
<07023>_.
So David
<01732>
<01732>
of her hand
<03027>
<03027>
in peace
<07965>
<07965>
to thine house
<01004>_;
<01004>_;
to thy voice
<06963>_,
<06963>_,
thy person
<06440>_.
<06440>_.
And Abigail
<026>
<026>
to Nabal
<05037>_;
<05037>_;
and, behold, he held a feast
<04960>
<04960>
in his house
<01004>_,
<01004>_,
like the feast
<04960>
<04960>
of a king
<04428>_;
<04428>_;
and Nabal's
<05037>
<05037>
heart
<03820>
<03820>
[was] merry
<02896>
<02896>
within him, for he [was] very
<03966>
<03966>
drunken
<07910>_:
<07910>_:
him nothing
<01697>_,
<01697>_,
less
<06996>
<06996>
or more
<01419>_,
<01419>_,
until the morning
<01242>
<01242>
light
<0216>_.
<0216>_.
But it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,
<01242>_,
when the wine
<03196>
<03196>
of Nabal
<05037>_,
<05037>_,
and his wife
<0802>
<0802>
him these things
<01697>_,
<01697>_,
that his heart
<03820>
<03820>
within
<07130>
<07130>
him, and he became [as] a stone
<068>_.
<068>_.
And when David
<01732>
<01732>
that Nabal
<05037>
<05037>
[be] the LORD
<03068>_,
<03068>_,
the cause
<07379>
<07379>
of my reproach
<02781>
<02781>
from the hand
<03027>
<03027>
of Nabal
<05037>_,
<05037>_,
his servant
<05650>
<05650>
from evil
<07451>_:
<07451>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
the wickedness
<07451>
<07451>
of Nabal
<05037>
<05037>
upon his own head
<07218>_.
<07218>_.
And David
<01732>
<01732>
with Abigail
<026>_,
<026>_,
her to him to wife
<0802>_.
<0802>_.
And when the servants
<05650>
<05650>
of David
<01732>
<01732>
to Abigail
<026>
<026>
to Carmel
<03760>_,
<03760>_,
David
<01732>
<01732>
thee to him to wife
<0802>_.
<0802>_.
herself on [her] face
<0639>
<0639>
to the earth
<0776>_,
<0776>_,
Behold, [let] thine handmaid
<0519>
<0519>
[be] a servant
<08198>
<08198>

<07272>
<07272>
of the servants
<05650>
<05650>
of my lord
<0113>_.
<0113>_.
