H8050
And Samuel
H4191
died;
H3478
and all Israel
H6908
gathered themselves together,
H5594
and lamented
H6912
him, and buried
H1004
him in his house
H7414
at Ramah.
H1732
And David
H6965
arose,
H3381
and went down
H4057
to the wilderness
H6290
of Paran.
2
H376
And there was a man
H4584
in Maon,
H4639
whose possessions
H3760
were in Carmel;
H376
and the man
H3966
was very
H1419
great,
H7969
and he had three
H505
thousand
H6629
sheep,
H505
and a thousand
H5795
goats:
H1494
and he was shearing
H6629
his sheep
H3760
in Carmel.
3
H8034
Now the name
H376
of the man
H5037
was Nabal;
H8034
and the name
H802
of his wife
H26
Abigail;
H802
and the woman
H2896
was of good
H7922
understanding,
H3303
and of a beautiful
H8389
countenance:
H376
but the man
H7186
was churlish
H7451
and evil
H4611
in his doings;
H3614
and he was of the house of Caleb.
4
H1732
And David
H8085
heard
H4057
in the wilderness
H5037
that Nabal
H1494
was shearing
H6629
his sheep.
5
H1732
And David
H7971
sent
H6235
ten
H5288
young men,
H1732
and David
H559
said
H5288
unto the young men,
H5927
Get you up
H3760
to Carmel,
H935
and go
H5037
to Nabal,
H7592
and greet
H8034
him in my name:
6
H559
and thus shall ye say
H2416
to him that liveth
H7965
in prosperity, Peace
H7965
be unto thee, and peace
H1004
be to thy house,
H7965
and peace be unto all that thou hast.
7
H8085
And now I have heard
H1494
that thou hast shearers:
H7462
thy shepherds
H3637
have now been with us, and we did them no hurt,
H3972
neither was there aught
H6485
missing
H3117
unto them, all the while
H3760
they were in Carmel.
8
H7592
Ask
H5288
thy young men,
H5046
and they will tell
H5288
thee: wherefore let the young men
H4672
find
H2580
favor
H5869
in thine eyes;
H935
for we come
H2896
in a good
H3117
day:
H5414
give,
H4672
I pray thee, whatsoever cometh
H3027
to thy hand,
H5650
unto thy servants,
H1121
and to thy son
H1732
David.
9
H1732
And when David's
H5288
young men
H935
came,
H1696
they spake
H5037
to Nabal
H1697
according to all those words
H8034
in the name
H1732
of David,
H5117
and ceased.
10
H5037
And Nabal
H6030
answered
H1732
David's
H5650
servants,
H559
and said,
H1732
Who is David?
H1121
and who is the son
H3448
of Jesse?
H7231
there are many
H5650
servants
H3117
now-a-days
H6555
that break away
H376
every man
H6440
from
H113
his master.
11
H3947
Shall I then take
H3899
my bread,
H4325
and my water,
H2878
and my flesh
H2873
that I have killed
H1494
for my shearers,
H5414
and give
H582
it unto men
H3045
of whom I know not whence they are?
12
H1732
So David's
H5288
young men
H2015
turned
H1870
on their way,
H7725
and went back,
H935
and came
H5046
and told
H1697
him according to all these words.
13
H1732
And David
H559
said
H582
unto his men,
H2296
Gird ye on
H376
every man
H2719
his sword.
H2296
And they girded on
H376
every man
H2719
his sword;
H1732
and David
H2296
also girded on
H2719
his sword:
H5927
and there went up
H310
after
H1732
David
H702
about four
H3967
hundred
H376
men;
H3967
and two hundred
H3427
abode
H3627
by the baggage.
14
H259
But one
H5288
of the young men
H5046
told
H26
Abigail,
H5037
Nabal's
H802
wife,
H559
saying,
H1732
Behold, David
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H4057
out of the wilderness
H1288
to salute
H113
our master;
H5860
and he railed at them.
15
H582
But the men
H3966
were very
H2896
good
H3637
unto us, and we were not hurt,
H6485
neither missed
H3972
we anything,
H3117
as long as
H1980
we went
H7704
with them, when we were in the fields:
16
H2346
they were a wall
H3915
unto us both by night
H3119
and by day,
H3117
all the while
H7462
we were with them keeping
H6629
the sheep.
17
H3045
Now therefore know
H7200
and consider
H6213
what thou wilt do;
H7451
for evil
H3615
is determined
H113
against our master,
H1004
and against all his house:
H1100
for he is such a worthless
H1121
fellow,
H1696
that one cannot speak to him.
18
H26
Then Abigail
H4116
made haste,
H3947
and took
H3967
two hundred
H3899
loaves,
H8147
and two
H5035
bottles
H3196
of wine,
H2568
and five
H6629
sheep
H6213
ready dressed,
H2568
and five
H5429
measures
H7039
of parched
H3967
grain, and a hundred
H6778
clusters of raisins,
H3967
and two hundred
H1690
cakes
H7760
of figs, and laid
H2543
them on asses.
19
H559
And she said
H5288
unto her young men,
H5674
Go on
H6440
before
H935
me; behold, I come
H310
after
H5046
you. But she told
H376
not her husband
H5037
Nabal.
20
H7392
And it was so, as she rode
H2543
on her ass,
H3381
and came down
H5643
by the covert
H2022
of the mountain,
H1732
that, behold, David
H582
and his men
H3381
came down
H7125
toward
H6298
her; and she met them.
21
H1732
Now David
H559
had said,
H8267
Surely in vain
H8104
have I kept
H2088
all that this
H4057
fellow hath in the wilderness,
H3972
so that nothing
H6485
was missed
H7725
of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned
H7451
me evil
H2896
for good.
22
H430
God
H6213
do
H3541
so
H341
unto the enemies
H1732
of David,
H3254
and more
H7604
also, if I leave
H5704
of all that pertain to him by
H1242
the morning
H216
light
H8366
so much as one
H7023
man-child.
23
H26
And when Abigail
H7200
saw
H1732
David,
H4116
she hasted,
H3381
and alighted
H2543
from her ass,
H5307
and fell
H639
before
H1732
David
H6440
on her face,
H7812
and bowed
H776
herself to the ground.
24
H5307
And she fell
H7272
at his feet,
H559
and said,
H113
Upon me, my lord,
H5771
upon me be the iniquity;
H519
and let thy handmaid,
H1696
I pray thee, speak
H241
in thine ears,
H8085
and hear
H1697
thou the words
H589
of thy handmaid.
25
H7760
Let
H113
not my lord,
H3820
I pray thee, regard
H1100
this worthless
H376
fellow,
H5037
even Nabal;
H8034
for as his name
H5037
is, so is he; Nabal
H8034
is his name,
H5039
and folly
H519
is with him: but I thy handmaid
H7200
saw
H5288
not the young men
H113
of my lord,
H7971
whom thou didst send.
26
H113
Now therefore, my lord,
H3068
as Jehovah
H2416
liveth,
H5315
and as thy soul
H2416
liveth,
H3068
seeing Jehovah
H4513
hath withholden
H935
thee from
H1818
bloodguiltiness,
H3467
and from avenging
H3027
thyself with thine own hand,
H341
now therefore let thine enemies,
H1245
and them that seek
H7451
evil
H113
to my lord,
H5037
be as Nabal.
27
H1293
And now this present
H8198
which thy servant
H935
hath brought
H113
unto my lord,
H5414
let it be given
H5288
unto the young men
H1980
that follow
H113
my lord.
28
H5375
Forgive,
H6588
I pray thee, the trespass
H519
of thy handmaid:
H3068
for Jehovah
H6213
will certainly
H6213
make
H3068
my lord
H539
a sure
H1004
house,
H113
because my lord
H3898
fighteth
H4421
the battles
H113
of Jehovah;
H7451
and evil
H4672
shall not be found
H3117
in thee all thy days.
29
H120
And though men
H6965
be risen
H7291
up to pursue
H1245
thee, and to seek
H5315
thy soul,
H5315
yet the soul
H113
of my lord
H6887
shall be bound
H6872
in the bundle
H2416
of life
H3068
with Jehovah
H430
thy God;
H5315
and the souls
H341
of thine enemies,
H7049
them shall he sling out,
H8432
as from the hollow
H7050
of a sling.
30
H3068
And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah
H6213
shall have done
H3068
to my lord
H2896
according to all the good
H1696
that he hath spoken
H6680
concerning thee, and shall have appointed
H5057
thee prince
H3478
over Israel,
31
H6330
that this shall be no grief
H4383
unto thee, nor offence
H3820
of heart
H113
unto my lord,
H8210
either that thou hast shed
H1818
blood
H2600
without cause,
H113
or that my lord
H3467
hath avenged
H3068
himself. And when Jehovah
H3190
shall have dealt well
H113
with my lord,
H2142
then remember
H519
thy handmaid.
32
H1732
And David
H559
said
H26
to Abigail,
H1288
Blessed
H3068
be Jehovah,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H7971
who sent
H3117
thee this day
H7125
to meet me:
33
H1288
and blessed
H2940
be thy discretion,
H1288
and blessed
H3607
be thou, that hast kept
H3117
me this day
H935
from
H1818
bloodguiltiness,
H3467
and from avenging
H3027
myself with mine own hand.
34
H199
For in very deed,
H3068
as Jehovah,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H2416
liveth,
H4513
who hath withholden
H7489
me from hurting
H3884
thee, except
H4116
thou hadst hasted
H935
and come
H7125
to meet
H3498
me, surely there had not been left
H5037
unto Nabal
H1242
by the morning
H216
light
H8366
so much as one
H7023
man-child.
35
H1732
So David
H3947
received
H3027
of her hand
H935
that which she had brought
H559
him: and he said
H5927
unto her, Go up
H7965
in peace
H1004
to thy house;
H7200
see,
H8085
I have hearkened
H6963
to thy voice,
H5375
and have accepted
H6440
thy person.
36
H26
And Abigail
H935
came
H5037
to Nabal;
H4960
and, behold, he held a feast
H1004
in his house,
H4960
like the feast
H4428
of a king;
H5037
and Nabal's
H3820
heart
H2896
was merry
H3966
within him, for he was very
H7910
drunken:
H5046
wherefore she told
H1697
him nothing,
H6996
less
H1419
or more,
H1242
until the morning
H216
light.
37
H1242
And it came to pass in the morning,
H3196
when the wine
H3318
was gone out
H5037
of Nabal,
H802
that his wife
H5046
told
H1697
him these things,
H3820
and his heart
H4191
died
H7130
within
H68
him, and he became as a stone.
38
H6235
And it came to pass about ten
H3117
days
H3068
after, that Jehovah
H5062
smote
H5037
Nabal,
H4191
so that he died.
39
H1732
And when David
H8085
heard
H5037
that Nabal
H4191
was dead,
H559
he said,
H1288
Blessed
H3068
be Jehovah,
H7378
that hath pleaded
H7379
the cause
H2781
of my reproach
H3027
from the hand
H5037
of Nabal,
H2820
and hath kept
H5650
back his servant
H7451
from evil:
H7451
and the evil-doing
H5037
of Nabal
H3068
hath Jehovah
H7725
returned
H7218
upon his own head.
H1732
And David
H7971
sent
H1696
and spake
H26
concerning Abigail,
H3947
to take
H802
her to him to wife.
40
H5650
And when the servants
H1732
of David
H935
were come
H26
to Abigail
H3760
to Carmel,
H1696
they spake
H559
unto her, saying,
H1732
David
H7971
hath sent
H3947
us unto thee, to take
H802
thee to him to wife.
41
H6965
And she arose,
H7812
and bowed
H639
herself with her face
H776
to the earth,
H559
and said,
H519
Behold, thy handmaid
H8198
is a servant
H7364
to wash
H7272
the feet
H8198
of the servants
H113
of my lord.
42
H26
And Abigail
H4116
hasted,
H6965
and arose,
H7392
and rode
H2543
upon an ass,
H2568
with five
H5291
damsels
H1980
of hers that
H7272
followed
H1980
her; and she went
H7272
after
H4397
the messengers
H1732
of David,
H802
and became his wife.
