1 Samuel 25:17-35 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt 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.

KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

17 H3045 Now therefore know [H8798] H7200 and consider [H8798] H6213 what thou wilt do [H8799] H7451 ; for evil H3615 is determined [H8804] 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 [H8763] to him.

18 H26 Then Abigail H4116 made haste [H8762] H3947 , and took [H8799] H3967 two hundred H3899 loaves H8147 , and two H5035 bottles H3196 of wine H2568 , and five H6629 sheep H6213 ready dressed [H8803] 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 [H8799] H2543 them on asses.

19 H559 And she said [H8799] H5288 unto her servants H5674 , Go on [H8798] H6440 before H935 me; behold, I come [H8802] H310 after H5046 you. But she told [H8689] H376 not her husband H5037 Nabal.

20 H7392 And it was so, as she rode [H8802] H2543 on the ass H3381 , that she came down [H8802] H5643 by the covert H2022 of the hill H1732 , and, behold, David H582 and his men H3381 came down [H8802] H7125 against [H8800] H6298 her; and she met [H8799] them.

21 H1732 Now David H559 had said [H8804] H8267 , Surely in vain H8104 have I kept [H8804] H2088 all that this H4057 fellow hath in the wilderness H3972 , so that nothing H6485 was missed [H8738] H7725 of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited [H8686] H7451 me evil H2896 for good.

22 H3541 So H3254 and more [H8686] H6213 also do [H8799] H430 God H341 unto the enemies [H8802] H1732 of David H7604 , if I leave [H8686] H5704 of all that pertain to him by H1242 the morning H216 light H8366 any that pisseth [H8688] H7023 against the wall.

23 H26 And when Abigail H7200 saw [H8799] H1732 David H4116 , she hasted [H8762] H3381 , and lighted off [H8799] H2543 the ass H5307 , and fell [H8799] H639 before H1732 David H6440 on her face H7812 , and bowed [H8691] H776 herself to the ground,

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

25 H7760 Let [H8799] H113 not my lord H3820 , I pray thee, 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 folly H519 is with him: but I thine handmaid H7200 saw [H8804] H5288 not the young men H113 of my lord H7971 , whom thou didst send [H8804] .

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

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

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

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

30 H3068 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD H6213 shall have done [H8799] H113 to my lord H2896 according to all the good H1696 that he hath spoken [H8765] H6680 concerning thee, and shall have appointed [H8765] H5057 thee ruler 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 [H8800] H1818 blood H2600 causeless H113 , or that my lord H3467 hath avenged [H8687] H3068 himself: but when the LORD H3190 shall have dealt well [H8689] H113 with my lord H2142 , then remember [H8804] H519 thine handmaid.

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

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

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

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