1 Samuel 25:17-35 Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

17 H3045 Now therefore know H7200 and consider H6213 what you will do; H7451 for evil H3615 is determined H113 against our master, H1004 and against all his household: H1121 for he is such a son H1100 of Belial, H1696 that a man cannot speak to him.

18 H26 Then Abigail H4116 made hurry, 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 corn, and an hundred H6778 clusters of raisins, H3967 and two hundred H1690 cakes H7760 of figs, and laid H2543 them on donkeys.

19 H559 And she said H5288 unto her servants, 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 the donkey, H3381 that she came down H5643 by the covert H2022 of the hill, H1732 and, behold, David H582 and his men H3381 came down H7125 against 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 has in the wilderness, H3972 so that nothing H6485 was missed H7725 of all that pertained unto him: and he has requited H7451 me evil H2896 for good.

22 H3541 So H3254 and more H6213 also do H430 God H341 unto the enemies H1732 of David, H7604 if I leave H5704 of all that pertain to him by H1242 the morning H216 light H8366 any that urinates H7023 against the wall.

23 H26 And when Abigail H7200 saw H1732 David, H4116 she hurried, H3381 and alighted off H2543 the donkey, H5307 and fell H639 before H1732 David H6440 on her face, H7812 and bowed H776 herself to the ground,

24 H5307 And fell H7272 at his feet, H559 and said, H113 Upon me, my lord, H5771 upon me let this iniquity H519 be: and let your handmaid, H1696 I pray you, speak H241 in your audience, H8085 and hear H1697 the words H589 of your handmaid.

25 H7760 Let H113 not my lord, H3820 I pray you, regard H376 this man H1100 of Belial, H5037 even Nabal: H8034 for as his name H5037 is, so is he; Nabal H8034 is his name, H5039 and wickedness H519 is with him: but I your handmaid H7200 saw H5288 not the young men H113 of my lord, H7971 whom you did send.

26 H113 Now therefore, my lord, H3068 as the Lord H2416 lives, H5315 and as your soul H2416 lives, H3068 seeing the Lord H4513 has withholden H935 you from coming H1818 to shed blood, H3467 and from avenging H3027 yourself with your own hand, H341 now let your enemies, H1245 and they that seek H7451 evil H113 to my lord, H5037 be as Nabal.

27 H1293 And now this blessing H8198 which your handmaid H935 has brought H113 unto my lord, H5414 let it even be given H5288 unto the young men H1980 that follow H113 my lord.

28 H5375 I pray you, forgive H6588 the trespass H519 of your handmaid: H3068 for the Lord H6213 will certainly H6213 make H113 my lord H539 a sure H1004 house; H113 because my lord H3898 fights H4421 the battles H3068 of the Lord, H7451 and evil H4672 has not been found H3117 in you all your days.

29 H120 Yet a man H6965 is risen H7291 to pursue H1245 you, and to seek H5315 your soul: H5315 but the soul H113 of my lord H6887 shall be bound H6872 in the bundle H2416 of life H3068 with the Lord H430 your God; H5315 and the souls H341 of your enemies, H7049 them shall he sling out, H8432 as out of the middle H7050 of a sling.

30 H3068 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord H6213 shall have done H113 to my lord H2896 according to all the good H1696 that he has spoken H6680 concerning you, and shall have appointed H5057 you ruler H3478 over Israel;

31 H6330 That this shall be no grief H4383 unto you, nor offense H3820 of heart H113 unto my lord, H8210 either that you have shed H1818 blood H2600 without cause, H113 or that my lord H3467 has avenged H3068 himself: but when the Lord H3190 shall have dealt well H113 with my lord, H2142 then remember H519 your handmaid.

32 H1732 And David H559 said H26 to Abigail, H1288 Blessed H3068 be the Lord H430 God H3478 of Israel, H7971 which sent H3117 you this day H7125 to meet me:

33 H1288 And blessed H2940 be your advice, H1288 and blessed H3607 be you, which have kept H3117 me this day H935 from coming H1818 to shed blood, H3467 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 lives, H4513 which has kept me back H7489 from hurting H3884 you, except H4116 you had hurried H935 and come H7125 to meet H3498 me, surely there had not been left H5037 unto Nabal H1242 by the morning H216 light H8366 any that urinates H7023 against the wall.

35 H1732 So David H3947 received H3027 of her hand H935 that which she had brought H559 him, and said H5927 unto her, Go up H7965 in peace H1004 to your house; H7200 see, H8085 I have listened H6963 to your voice, H5375 and have granted H6440 your request.
