1 Samuel 25:24-44 And fell at his feet , and said , Upon me, my lord , upon me let this iniquity be: and let thy handmaid , I pray thee, speak in thy hearing , and hear the words of thy handmaid.

Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

24 H5307 [H8799] And fell H7272 at his feet H559 [H8799] , and said H113 , Upon me, my lord H5771 , upon me let this iniquity H519 be: and let thy handmaid H1696 [H8762] , I pray thee, speak H241 in thy hearing H8085 [H8798] , and hear H1697 the words H589 of thy handmaid.

25 H7760 [H8799] Let H113 not my lord H3820 , I pray thee, regard H1100 this worthless H376 man 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 [H8804] saw H5288 not the young men H113 of my lord H7971 [H8804] , whom thou didst send.

26 H113 Now therefore, my lord H3068 , as the LORD H2416 liveth H5315 , and as thy soul H2416 liveth H3068 , seeing the LORD H4513 [H8804] hath withheld H935 [H8800] thee from coming H1818 to shed blood H3467 [H8687] , and from avenging H3027 thyself with thy own hand H341 [H8802] , now let thy enemies H1245 [H8764] , and they that seek H7451 evil H113 to my lord H5037 , be as Nabal.

27 H1293 And now this blessing H8198 which thy handmaid H935 [H8689] hath brought H113 to my lord H5414 [H8738] , let it even be given H5288 to the young men H1980 H7272 [H8693] that follow H113 my lord.

28 H5375 [H8798] I pray thee, forgive H6588 the trespass H519 of thy handmaid H3068 : for the LORD H6213 [H8800] will certainly H6213 [H8799] make H113 my lord H539 [H8737] a sure H1004 house H113 ; because my lord H3898 [H8737] fighteth H4421 the battles H3068 of the LORD H7451 , and evil H4672 [H8735] hath not been found H3117 in thee all thy days.

29 H120 Yet a man H6965 [H8799] hath risen H7291 [H8800] to pursue H1245 [H8763] thee, and to seek H5315 thy soul H5315 : but the soul H113 of my lord H6887 [H8803] shall be bound H6872 in the bundle H2416 of life H3068 with the LORD H430 thy God H5315 ; and the souls H341 [H8802] of thy enemies H7049 [H8762] , them shall he sling out H8432 H3709 , as from the middle H7050 of a sling.

30 H3068 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD H6213 [H8799] shall have done H113 to my lord H2896 according to all the good H1696 [H8765] that he hath spoken H6680 [H8765] concerning thee, and shall have appointed H5057 thee ruler H3478 over Israel;

31 H6330 That this shall be no grief H4383 to thee, nor offence H3820 of heart H113 to my lord H8210 [H8800] , either that thou hast shed H1818 blood H2600 without cause H113 , or that my lord H3467 [H8687] hath avenged H3068 himself: but when the LORD H3190 [H8689] shall have dealt well H113 with my lord H2142 [H8804] , then remember H519 thy handmaid.

32 H1732 And David H559 [H8799] said H26 to Abigail H1288 [H8803] , Blessed H3068 be the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H7971 [H8804] , who sent H3117 thee this day H7125 [H8800] to meet me:

33 H1288 [H8803] And blessed H2940 be thy advice H1288 [H8803] , and blessed H3607 [H8804] be thou, who hast kept H3117 me this day H935 [H8800] from coming H1818 to shed blood H3467 [H8687] , and from avenging H3027 myself with my own hand.

34 H199 For in very deed H3068 , as the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H2416 liveth H4513 [H8804] , who hath kept me back H7489 [H8687] from hurting H3884 thee, except H4116 [H8765] thou hadst hasted H935 [H8799] and come H7125 [H8800] to meet H3498 [H8738] me, surely there had not been left H5037 to Nabal H1242 by the morning H216 light H8366 H7023 [H8688] any male person.

35 H1732 So David H3947 [H8799] received H3027 from her hand H935 [H8689] that which she had brought H559 [H8804] him, and said H5927 [H8798] to her, Return H7965 in peace H1004 to thy house H7200 [H8798] ; see H8085 [H8804] , I have hearkened H6963 to thy voice H5375 [H8799] , and have accepted H6440 thy person.

36 H26 And Abigail H935 [H8799] 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 drunk H5046 [H8689] : therefore she told H1697 him nothing H6996 , less H1419 or more H1242 , until the morning H216 light.

37 H1242 But it came to pass in the morning H3196 , when the wine H3318 [H8800] had left H5037 Nabal H802 , and his wife H5046 [H8686] had told H1697 him these things H3820 , that his heart H4191 [H8799] 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 the LORD H5062 [H8799] smote H5037 Nabal H4191 [H8799] , that he died.

39 H1732 And when David H8085 [H8799] heard H5037 that Nabal H4191 [H8804] was dead H559 [H8799] , he said H1288 [H8803] , Blessed H3068 be the LORD H7378 [H8804] , that hath pleaded H7379 the cause H2781 of my reproach H3027 from the hand H5037 of Nabal H2820 [H8804] , and hath kept H5650 his servant H7451 from evil H3068 : for the LORD H7725 [H8689] hath returned H7451 the wickedness H5037 of Nabal H7218 upon his own head H1732 . And David H7971 [H8799] sent H1696 [H8762] and talked H26 with Abigail H3947 [H8800] , to take H802 her to himself for a wife.

40 H5650 And when the servants H1732 of David H935 [H8799] had come H26 to Abigail H3760 to Carmel H1696 [H8762] , they spoke H559 [H8800] to her, saying H1732 , David H7971 [H8804] hath sent H3947 [H8800] us to thee, to take H802 thee to him for a wife.

41 H6965 [H8799] And she arose H7812 [H8691] , and bowed H639 herself on her face H776 to the earth H559 [H8799] , and said H519 , Behold, let thy handmaid H8198 be a servant H7364 [H8800] to wash H7272 the feet H5650 of the servants H113 of my lord.

42 H26 And Abigail H4116 [H8762] hasted H6965 [H8799] , and arose H7392 [H8799] , and rode H2543 upon a donkey H2568 , with five H5291 damsels H1980 [H8802] of hers that went H7272 after H3212 [H8799] her; and she went H310 after H4397 the messengers H1732 of David H802 , and became his wife.

43 H1732 David H3947 [H8804] also took H293 Ahinoam H3157 of Jezreel H8147 ; and they were also both H802 of them his wives.

44 H7586 But Saul H5414 [H8804] had given H4324 Michal H1323 his daughter H1732 , David's H802 wife H6406 , to Phalti H1121 the son H3919 of Laish H1554 , who was of Gallim.
