WEB_Strongs(i)
  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 Greet H113 our master; H5860 and he railed at them.
  15 H582 But the men H3966 were very H2896 good H3637 to 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 to 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 you will 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 can't speak to him."
  18 H26 Then Abigail H4116 hurried H3947 and took H3967 two hundred H3899 loaves H8147 of bread, two H5035 bottles H3196 of wine, H2568 five H6629 sheep H6213 ready dressed, H2568 five H5429 measures H7039 of parched H3967 grain, one hundred H6778 clusters of raisins, H3967 and two hundred H1690 cakes H7760 of figs, and laid H2543 them on donkeys.
  19 H559 She said H5288 to her young men, H5674 "Go on H6440 before H935 me. Behold, I come H310 after H5046 you." But she didn't tell H376 her husband, H5037 Nabal.
  20 H7392 It was so, as she rode H2543 on her donkey, 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 has in the wilderness, H3972 so that nothing H6485 was missed H7725 of all that pertained to him. He has returned H7451 me evil H2896 for good.
  22 H430 God H6213 do H3541 so H341 to the enemies H1732 of David, H3254 and more H7604 also, if I leave H5704 of all that belongs to him by H1242 the morning H216 light H8366 so much as one who urinates H7023 on a wall."
  23 H26 When Abigail H7200 saw H1732 David, H4116 she hurried, H3381 and alighted H2543 from her donkey, H5307 and fell H639 before H1732 David H6440 on her face, H7812 and bowed H776 herself to the ground.
  24 H5307 She fell H7272 at his feet, H559 and said, H113 "On me, my lord, H5771 on me be the iniquity; H519 and please let your handmaid H1696 speak H241 in your ears. H8085 Hear H1697 the words H589 of your handmaid.
  25 H7760 Please don't let H113 my lord H3820 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, your handmaid, H7200 didn't see H5288 the young men H113 of my lord, H7971 whom you sent.
  26 H113 Now therefore, my lord, H3068 as Yahweh H2416 lives, H5315 and as your soul H2416 lives, H3068 since Yahweh H4513 has withheld H935 you from H1818 blood H3467 guiltiness, and from avenging H3027 yourself with your own hand, H341 now therefore let your enemies, H1245 and those who seek H7451 evil H113 to my lord, H5037 be as Nabal.
  27 H1293 Now this present H8198 which your servant H935 has brought H113 to my lord, H5414 let it be given H5288 to the young men H1980 who follow H113 my lord.
  28 H5375 Please forgive H6588 the trespass H519 of your handmaid. H3068 For Yahweh H6213 will certainly H6213 make H3068 my lord H539 a sure H1004 house, H113 because my lord H3898 fights H4421 the battles H113 of Yahweh; H7451 and evil H4672 shall not be found H3117 in you all your days.
  29 H120 Though men H6965 may rise H7291 up to pursue H1245 you, and to seek H5315 your soul, H5315 yet the soul H113 of my lord H6887 shall be bound H6872 in the bundle H2416 of life H3068 with Yahweh H430 your God. H7049 He will sling out H5315 the souls H341 of your enemies, H8432 as from the hollow H7050 of a sling.
  30 H3068 It shall come to pass, when Yahweh H6213 has done H3068 to my lord H2896 according to all the good H1696 that he has spoken H6680 concerning you, and shall have appointed H5057 you prince H3478 over Israel,
  31 H6330 that this shall be no grief H4383 to you, nor offense H3820 of heart H113 to my lord, H8210 either that you have shed H1818 blood H2600 without cause, H113 or that my lord H3467 has avenged H113 himself. When Yahweh H3190 has dealt well H3068 with my lord, H2142 then remember H519 your handmaid."
  32 H1732 David H559 said H26 to Abigail, H1288 "Blessed H3068 is Yahweh, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H7971 who sent H3117 you this day H7125 to meet me!
  33 H1288 Blessed H2940 is your discretion, H1288 and blessed H3607 are you, that have kept H3117 me this day H935 from H1818 blood H3467 guiltiness, and from avenging H3027 myself with my own hand.
  34 H199 For indeed, H3068 as Yahweh, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H2416 lives, H4513 who has withheld H7489 me from hurting H3884 you, unless H4116 you had hurried H935 and come H7125 to meet H3498 me, surely there wouldn't have been left H5037 to Nabal H1242 by the morning H216 light H8366 so much as one who urinates H7023 on a wall."
  35 H1732 So David H3947 received H3027 of her hand H935 that which she had brought H559 him: and he said H5927 to her, "Go up H7965 in peace H1004 to your house. H7200 Behold, H8085 I have listened H6963 to your voice, H5375 and have granted H6440 your request."
  36 H26 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 Nabal's H3820 heart H2896 was merry H3966 within him, for he was very H7910 drunken. H5046 Therefore she told H1697 him nothing, H6996 less H1419 or more, H1242 until the morning H216 light.
  37 H1242 It happened 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 It happened about ten H3117 days H3068 after, that Yahweh H5062 struck H5037 Nabal, H4191 so that he died.
  39 H1732 When David H8085 heard H5037 that Nabal H4191 was dead, H559 he said, H1288 "Blessed H3068 is Yahweh, H7378 who has pleaded H7379 the cause H2781 of my reproach H3027 from the hand H5037 of Nabal, H2820 and has kept H5650 back his servant H7451 from evil. H3068 Yahweh H7725 has returned H7451 the evildoing H5037 of Nabal H7218 on his own head." H1732 David H7971 sent H1696 and spoke H26 concerning Abigail, H3947 to take H802 her to him as wife.
  40 H5650 When the servants H1732 of David H935 had come H26 to Abigail H3760 to Carmel, H1696 they spoke H559 to her, saying, H1732 "David H7971 has sent H3947 us to you, to take H802 you to him as wife."
  41 H6965 She arose, H7812 and bowed H639 herself with her face H776 to the earth, H559 and said, H519 "Behold, your handmaid H8198 is a servant H7364 to wash H7272 the feet H8198 of the servants H113 of my lord."
  42 H26 Abigail H4116 hurried, H6965 and arose, H7392 and rode H2543 on a donkey, H2568 with five H5291 ladies H1980 of hers who 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 both H802 became 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.
