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 worthless man , that a man cannot speak to him.

Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

17 H3045 [H8798] Now therefore know H7200 [H8798] and consider H6213 [H8799] what thou wilt do H7451 ; for evil H3615 [H8804] is determined H113 against our master H1004 , and against all his household H1100 : for he is such a worthless H1121 man H1696 [H8763] , that a man cannot speak to him.

18 H26 Then Abigail H4116 [H8762] made haste H3947 [H8799] , and took H3967 two hundred H3899 loaves H8147 , and two H5035 bottles H3196 of wine H2568 , and five H6629 sheep H6213 [H8803] ready dressed H2568 , and five H5429 measures H7039 of roasted H3967 grain, and an hundred H6778 clusters of raisins H3967 , and two hundred H1690 cakes H7760 [H8799] of figs, and laid H2543 them on donkeys.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
