1 Samuel 25

ASV_Strongs(i)
  1 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.
  43 H1732 David H3947 also took H293 Ahinoam H3157 of Jezreel; H8147 and they became both H802 of them his wives.
  44 H7586 Now Saul H5414 had given H4324 Michal H1323 his daughter, H1732 David's H802 wife, H6406 to Palti H1121 the son H3919 of Laish, H1554 who was of Gallim.
