1 Samuel 25

1

And Samuelh8050 diedh4191h8799; and all the Israelitesh3478 were gathered togetherh6908h8735, and lamentedh5594h8799 him, and buriedh6912h8799 him in his househ1004 at Ramahh7414. And Davidh1732 aroseh6965h8799, and went downh3381h8799 to the wildernessh4057 of Paranh6290.

2

And there was a manh376 in Maonh4584, whose possessionsh4639 were in Carmelh3760; and the manh376 was veryh3966 greath1419, and he had threeh7969 thousandh505 sheeph6629, and a thousandh505 goatsh5795: and he was shearingh1494h8800 his sheeph6629 in Carmelh3760. possessions: or, business

Now the nameh8034 of the manh376 was Nabalh5037; and the nameh8034 of his wifeh802 Abigailh26: and she was a womanh802 of goodh2896 understandingh7922, and of a beautifulh3303 countenanceh8389: but the manh376 was churlishh7186 and evilh7451 in his doingsh4611; and he was of the house of Calebh3614.

4

And Davidh1732 heardh8085h8799 in the wildernessh4057 that Nabalh5037 did shearh1494h8802 his sheeph6629.

5

And Davidh1732 sent outh7971h8799 tenh6235 young menh5288, and Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto the young menh5288, Get you uph5927h8798 to Carmelh3760, and goh935h8804 to Nabalh5037, and greeth7592h8804h7965 him in my nameh8034: greet...: Heb. ask him in my name of peace

And thus shall ye sayh559h8804 to him that livethh2416 in prosperity , Peaceh7965 be both to thee, and peaceh7965 be to thine househ1004, and peaceh7965 be unto all that thou hast.

7

And now I have heardh8085h8804 that thou hast shearersh1494h8802: now thy shepherdsh7462h8802 which were with us, we hurth3637h8689 them not, neither was there oughth3972 missingh6485h8738 unto them, all the whileh3117 they were in Carmelh3760. hurt: Heb. shamed

8

Askh7592h8798 thy young menh5288, and they will shewh5046h8686 thee. Wherefore let the young menh5288 findh4672h8799 favourh2580 in thine eyesh5869: for we comeh935h8804 in a goodh2896 dayh3117: giveh5414h8798, I pray thee, whatsoever comethh4672h8799 to thine handh3027 unto thy servantsh5650, and to thy sonh1121 Davidh1732.

9

And when David'sh1732 young menh5288 cameh935h8799, they spakeh1696h8762 to Nabalh5037 according to all those wordsh1697 in the nameh8034 of Davidh1732, and ceasedh5117h8799. ceased: Heb. rested

10

And Nabalh5037 answeredh6030h8799 David'sh1732 servantsh5650, and saidh559h8799, Who is Davidh1732? and who is the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448? there be manyh7231h8804 servantsh5650 now a daysh3117 that break awayh6555h8693 every manh376 fromh6440 his masterh113.

11

Shall I then takeh3947h8804 my breadh3899, and my waterh4325, and my fleshh2878 that I have killedh2873h8804 for my shearersh1494h8802, and giveh5414h8804 it unto menh582, whom I knowh3045h8804 not whence they be ? flesh: Heb. slaughter

12

So David'sh1732 young menh5288 turnedh2015h8799 their wayh1870, and went againh7725h8799, and cameh935h8799 and toldh5046h8686 him all those sayingsh1697.

13

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto his menh582, Gird ye onh2296h8798 every manh376 his swordh2719. And they girded onh2296h8799 every manh376 his swordh2719; and Davidh1732 also girded onh2296h8799 his swordh2719: and there went uph5927h8799 afterh310 Davidh1732 about fourh702 hundredh3967 menh376; and two hundredh3967 abodeh3427h8804 by the stuffh3627.

14

But oneh259 of the young menh5288 toldh5046h8689 Abigailh26, Nabal'sh5037 wifeh802, sayingh559h8800, Behold, Davidh1732 senth7971h8804 messengersh4397 out of the wildernessh4057 to saluteh1288h8763 our masterh113; and he railedh5860h8799 on them. railed...: Heb. flew upon them

15

But the menh582 were veryh3966 goodh2896 unto us, and we were not hurth3637h8717, neither missedh6485h8804 we any thingh3972, as long ash3117 we were conversanth1980h8694 with them, when we were in the fieldsh7704: hurt: Heb. shamed

16

They were a wallh2346 unto us both by nighth3915 and dayh3119, all the whileh3117 we were with them keepingh7462h8802 the sheeph6629.

17

Now therefore knowh3045h8798 and considerh7200h8798 what thou wilt doh6213h8799; for evilh7451 is determinedh3615h8804 against our masterh113, and against all his householdh1004: for he is such a sonh1121 of Belialh1100, that a man cannot speakh1696h8763 to him.

18

Then Abigailh26 made hasteh4116h8762, and tookh3947h8799 two hundredh3967 loavesh3899, and twoh8147 bottlesh5035 of wineh3196, and fiveh2568 sheeph6629 ready dressedh6213h8803, and fiveh2568 measuresh5429 of parchedh7039 corn , and an hundredh3967 clusters of raisinsh6778, and two hundredh3967 cakesh1690 of figs, and laidh7760h8799 them on assesh2543. clusters: or, lumps

19

And she saidh559h8799 unto her servantsh5288, Go onh5674h8798 beforeh6440 me; behold, I comeh935h8802 afterh310 you. But she toldh5046h8689 not her husbandh376 Nabalh5037.

20

And it was so, as she rodeh7392h8802 on the assh2543, that she came downh3381h8802 by the coverth5643 of the hillh2022, and, behold, Davidh1732 and his menh582 came downh3381h8802 againsth7125h8800 her; and she meth6298h8799 them.

21

Now Davidh1732 had saidh559h8804, Surely in vainh8267 have I kepth8104h8804 all that thish2088 fellow hath in the wildernessh4057, so that nothingh3972 was missedh6485h8738 of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requitedh7725h8686 me evilh7451 for goodh2896.

22

Soh3541 and moreh3254h8686 also doh6213h8799 Godh430 unto the enemiesh341h8802 of Davidh1732, if I leaveh7604h8686 of all that pertain to him byh5704 the morningh1242 lighth216 any that pissethh8366h8688 against the wallh7023.

23

And when Abigailh26 sawh7200h8799 Davidh1732, she hastedh4116h8762, and lighted offh3381h8799 the assh2543, and fellh5307h8799 beforeh639 Davidh1732 on her faceh6440, and bowedh7812h8691 herself to the groundh776,

24

And fellh5307h8799 at his feeth7272, and saidh559h8799, Upon me, my lordh113, upon me let this iniquityh5771 be : and let thine handmaidh519, I pray thee, speakh1696h8762 in thine audienceh241, and hearh8085h8798 the wordsh1697 of thine handmaidh589. audience: Heb. ears

25

Leth7760h8799 not my lordh113, I pray thee, regardh3820 this manh376 of Belialh1100, even Nabalh5037: for as his nameh8034 is , so is he; Nabalh5037 is his nameh8034, and follyh5039 is with him: but I thine handmaidh519 sawh7200h8804 not the young menh5288 of my lordh113, whom thou didst sendh7971h8804. regard: Heb. lay it to his heart
Nabal: that is, Fool

26

Now therefore, my lordh113, as the LORDh3068 livethh2416, and as thy soulh5315 livethh2416, seeing the LORDh3068 hath withholdenh4513h8804 thee from comingh935h8800 to shed bloodh1818, and from avengingh3467h8687 thyself with thine own handh3027, now let thine enemiesh341h8802, and they that seekh1245h8764 evilh7451 to my lordh113, be as Nabalh5037. avenging...: Heb. saving thyself

27

And now this blessingh1293 which thine handmaidh8198 hath broughth935h8689 unto my lordh113, let it even be givenh5414h8738 unto the young menh5288 that followh1980h8693h7272 my lordh113. blessing: or, present
follow...: Heb. walk at the feet of, etc

28

I pray thee, forgiveh5375h8798 the trespassh6588 of thine handmaidh519: for the LORDh3068 will certainlyh6213h8800 makeh6213h8799 my lordh113 a sureh539h8737 househ1004; because my lordh113 fightethh3898h8737 the battlesh4421 of the LORDh3068, and evilh7451 hath not been foundh4672h8735 in thee all thy daysh3117.

29

Yet a manh120 is risenh6965h8799 to pursueh7291h8800 thee, and to seekh1245h8763 thy soulh5315: but the soulh5315 of my lordh113 shall be boundh6887h8803 in the bundleh6872 of lifeh2416 with the LORDh3068 thy Godh430; and the soulsh5315 of thine enemiesh341h8802, them shall he sling outh7049h8762, as out of the middleh8432h3709 of a slingh7050. as out...: Heb. in the midst of the bought of a sling

30

And it shall come to pass, when the LORDh3068 shall have doneh6213h8799 to my lordh113 according to all the goodh2896 that he hath spokenh1696h8765 concerning thee, and shall have appointedh6680h8765 thee rulerh5057 over Israelh3478;

31

That this shall be no griefh6330 unto thee, nor offenceh4383 of hearth3820 unto my lordh113, either that thou hast shedh8210h8800 bloodh1818 causelessh2600, or that my lordh113 hath avengedh3467h8687 himself: but when the LORDh3068 shall have dealt wellh3190h8689 with my lordh113, then rememberh2142h8804 thine handmaidh519. no grief: Heb. no staggering, or, stumbling

32

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 to Abigailh26, Blessedh1288h8803 be the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478, which senth7971h8804 thee this dayh3117 to meeth7125h8800 me:

33

And blessedh1288h8803 be thy adviceh2940, and blessedh1288h8803 be thou, which hast kepth3607h8804 me this dayh3117 from comingh935h8800 to shed bloodh1818, and from avengingh3467h8687 myself with mine own handh3027.

34

For in very deedh199, as the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 livethh2416, which hath kept me backh4513h8804 from hurtingh7489h8687 thee, excepth3884 thou hadst hastedh4116h8765 and comeh935h8799 to meeth7125h8800 me, surely there had not been lefth3498h8738 unto Nabalh5037 by the morningh1242 lighth216 any that pissethh8366h8688 against the wallh7023.

35

So Davidh1732 receivedh3947h8799 of her handh3027 that which she had broughth935h8689 him, and saidh559h8804 unto her, Go uph5927h8798 in peaceh7965 to thine househ1004; seeh7200h8798, I have hearkenedh8085h8804 to thy voiceh6963, and have acceptedh5375h8799 thy personh6440.

36

And Abigailh26 cameh935h8799 to Nabalh5037; and, behold, he held a feasth4960 in his househ1004, like the feasth4960 of a kingh4428; and Nabal'sh5037 hearth3820 was merryh2896 within him, for he was veryh3966 drunkenh7910: wherefore she toldh5046h8689 him nothingh1697, lessh6996 or moreh1419, until the morningh1242 lighth216.

37

But it came to pass in the morningh1242, when the wineh3196 was gone outh3318h8800 of Nabalh5037, and his wifeh802 had toldh5046h8686 him these thingsh1697, that his hearth3820 diedh4191h8799 withinh7130 him, and he became as a stoneh68.

38

And it came to pass about tenh6235 daysh3117 after , that the LORDh3068 smoteh5062h8799 Nabalh5037, that he diedh4191h8799.

39

And when Davidh1732 heardh8085h8799 that Nabalh5037 was deadh4191h8804, he saidh559h8799, Blessedh1288h8803 be the LORDh3068, that hath pleadedh7378h8804 the causeh7379 of my reproachh2781 from the handh3027 of Nabalh5037, and hath kepth2820h8804 his servanth5650 from evilh7451: for the LORDh3068 hath returnedh7725h8689 the wickednessh7451 of Nabalh5037 upon his own headh7218. And Davidh1732 senth7971h8799 and communedh1696h8762 with Abigailh26, to takeh3947h8800 her to him to wifeh802.

40

And when the servantsh5650 of Davidh1732 were comeh935h8799 to Abigailh26 to Carmelh3760, they spakeh1696h8762 unto her, sayingh559h8800, Davidh1732 senth7971h8804 us unto thee, to takeh3947h8800 thee to him to wifeh802.

41

And she aroseh6965h8799, and bowedh7812h8691 herself on her faceh639 to the earthh776, and saidh559h8799, Behold, let thine handmaidh519 be a servanth8198 to washh7364h8800 the feeth7272 of the servantsh5650 of my lordh113.

42

And Abigailh26 hastedh4116h8762, and aroseh6965h8799, and rodeh7392h8799 upon an assh2543, with fiveh2568 damselsh5291 of hers that wenth1980h8802 afterh7272 her; and she wenth3212h8799 afterh310 the messengersh4397 of Davidh1732, and became his wifeh802. after her: Heb. at her feet

43

Davidh1732 also tookh3947h8804 Ahinoamh293 of Jezreelh3157; and they were also bothh8147 of them his wivesh802.

44

But Saulh7586 had givenh5414h8804 Michalh4324 his daughterh1323, David'sh1732 wifeh802, to Phaltih6406 the sonh1121 of Laishh3919, which was of Gallimh1554. Phalti: also called, Phaltiel
