H8050
And Samuel
H4191 [H8799]
died;
H3478
and all the Israelites
H6908 [H8735]
were gathered together,
H5594 [H8799]
and lamented
H6912 [H8799]
him, and buried
H1004
him in his house
H7414
at Ramah.
H1732
And David
H6965 [H8799]
arose,
H3381 [H8799]
and went down
H4057
to the wilderness
H6290
of Paran.
2
H376
And there was a man
H4584
in Maon,
H4639
whose possessions
H3760
were in Carmel;
H376
and the man
H3966
was very
H1419
great,
H7969
and he had three
H505
thousand
H6629
sheep,
H505
and a thousand
H5795
goats:
H1494 [H8800]
and he was shearing
H6629
his sheep
H3760
in Carmel.
3
H8034
Now the name
H376
of the man
H5037
was Nabal;
H8034
and the name
H802
of his wife
H26
Abigail:
H802
and she was a woman
H2896
of good
H7922
understanding,
H3303
and of a beautiful
H8389
countenance:
H376
but the man
H7186
was churlish
H7451
and evil
H4611
in his doings;
H3614
and he was of the house of Caleb.
4
H1732
And David
H8085 [H8799]
heard
H4057
in the wilderness
H5037
that Nabal
H1494 [H8802]
was shearing
H6629
his sheep.
5
H1732
And David
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H6235
ten
H5288
young men,
H1732
and David
H559 [H8799]
said
H5288
to the young men,
H5927 [H8798]
Go up
H3760
to Carmel,
H935 [H8804]
and go
H5037
to Nabal,
H7592 H7965 [H8804]
and greet
H8034
him in my name:
6
H559 [H8804]
And thus shall ye say
H2416
to him that liveth
H7965
in prosperity, Peace
H7965
be both to thee, and peace
H1004
be to thy house,
H7965
and peace be to all that thou hast.
7
H8085 [H8804]
And now I have heard
H1494 [H8802]
that thou hast shearers:
H7462 [H8802]
now thy shepherds
H3637 [H8689]
who were with us, we hurt
H3972
them not, neither was there any thing
H6485 [H8738]
missing
H3117
to them, all the while
H3760
they were in Carmel.
8
H7592 [H8798]
Ask
H5288
thy young men,
H5046 [H8686]
and they will show
H5288
thee. Therefore let the young men
H4672 [H8799]
find
H2580
favour
H5869
in thine eyes:
H935 [H8804]
for we come
H2896
in a good
H3117
day:
H5414 [H8798]
give,
H4672 [H8799]
I pray thee, whatever cometh
H3027
to thine hand
H5650
to thy servants,
H1121
and to thy son
H1732
David.
9
H1732
And when David's
H5288
young men
H935 [H8799]
came,
H1696 [H8762]
they spoke
H5037
to Nabal
H8034
in the name
H1732
of David,
H1697
according to all these words,
H5117 [H8799]
and ceased.
10
H5037
And Nabal
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H1732
David's
H5650
servants,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H1732
Who is David?
H1121
and who is the son
H3448
of Jesse?
H7231 [H8804]
there are many
H5650
servants
H3117
in these days
H6555 [H8693]
that break away
H376
every man
H6440
from
H113
his master.
11
H3947 [H8804]
Shall I then take
H3899
my bread,
H4325
and my water,
H2878
and my flesh
H2873 [H8804]
that I have killed
H1494 [H8802]
for my shearers,
H5414 [H8804]
and give
H582
it to men,
H3045 [H8804]
whom I know not from where they are?
12
H1732
So David's
H5288
young men
H2015 [H8799]
turned
H1870
their way,
H7725 [H8799]
and went again,
H935 [H8799]
and came
H5046 [H8686]
and told
H1697
him all these sayings.
13
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said
H582
to his men,
H2296 [H8798]
Gird ye on
H376
every man
H2719
his sword.
H2296 [H8799]
And they girded on
H376
every man
H2719
his sword;
H1732
and David
H2296 [H8799]
also girded on
H2719
his sword:
H5927 [H8799]
and there went up
H310
after
H1732
David
H702
about four
H3967
hundred
H376
men;
H3967
and two hundred
H3427 [H8804]
abode
H3627
by the baggage.
14
H259
But one
H5288
of the young men
H5046 [H8689]
told
H26
Abigail,
H5037
Nabal's
H802
wife,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H1732
Behold, David
H7971 [H8804]
sent
H4397
messengers
H4057
from the wilderness
H1288 [H8763]
to greet
H113
our master;
H5860 [H8799]
and he railed at them.
15
H582
But the men
H3966
were very
H2896
good
H3637 [H8717]
to us, and we were not hurt,
H6485 [H8804]
neither missed
H3972
we any thing,
H3117
as long as
H1980 [H8694]
we were conversant
H7704
with them, when we were in the fields:
16
H2346
They were a wall
H3915
to us both by night
H3119
and day,
H3117
all the while
H7462 [H8802]
we were with them keeping
H6629
the sheep.
17
H3045 [H8798]
Now therefore know
H7200 [H8798]
and see
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
at the face of
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 mountain,
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 earth,
24
H5307 [H8799]
And fell
H7272
at his feet,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H113
Upon me, my sovereign,
H5771
upon me let this perversity
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 sovereign,
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 sovereign,
H7971 [H8804]
whom thou didst send.
26
H113
Now therefore, my sovereign,
H3068
as the LORD
H2416
liveth,
H5315
and as thy breath
H2416
liveth,
H3068
seeing the LORD
H4513 [H8804]
hath withheld
H935 [H8800]
thee from coming
H1818
to shed blood,
H3467 [H8687]
and from liberating
H3027
thyself with thy own hand,
H341 [H8802]
now let thy enemies,
H1245 [H8764]
and they that seek
H7451
evil
H113
to my sovereign,
H5037
be as Nabal.
27
H1293
And now this blessing
H8198
which thy handmaid
H935 [H8689]
hath brought
H113
to my sovereign,
H5414 [H8738]
let it even be given
H5288
to the young men
H1980 H7272 [H8693]
that follow
H113
my sovereign.
28
H5375 [H8798]
I pray thee, forgive
H6588
the revolt
H519
of thy handmaid:
H3068
for the LORD
H6213 [H8800]
will certainly
H6213 [H8799]
make
H113
my sovereign
H539 [H8737]
a sure
H1004
house;
H113
because my sovereign
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 breath:
H5315
but the breath
H113
of my sovereign
H6887 [H8803]
shall be bound
H6872
in the bundle
H2416
of life
H3068
with the LORD
H430
thy God;
H5315
and the breaths
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 sovereign
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 sovereign,
H8210 [H8800]
either that thou hast shed
H1818
blood
H2600
without cause,
H113
or that my sovereign
H3467 [H8687]
hath liberated
H3068
himself: but when the LORD
H3190 [H8689]
shall have dealt well
H113
with my sovereign,
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 liberating
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.
36
H26
And Abigail
H935 [H8799]
came
H5037
to Nabal;
H4960
and, behold, he held a feast
H1004
in his house,
H4960
like the feast
H4428
of a king;
H5037
and Nabal's
H3820
heart
H2896
was merry
H3966
within him, for he was very
H7910
drunk:
H5046 [H8689]
therefore she told
H1697
him nothing,
H6996
less
H1419
or more,
H1242
until the morning
H216
light.
37
H1242
But it came to pass in the morning,
H3196
when the wine
H3318 [H8800]
had left
H5037
Nabal,
H802
and his wife
H5046 [H8686]
had told
H1697
him these things,
H3820
that his heart
H4191 [H8799]
died
H7130
within
H68
him, and he became as a stone.
38
H6235
And it came to pass about ten
H3117
days
H3068
after, that the LORD
H5062 [H8799]
smote
H5037
Nabal,
H4191 [H8799]
that he died.
39
H1732
And when David
H8085 [H8799]
heard
H5037
that Nabal
H4191 [H8804]
was dead,
H559 [H8799]
he said,
H1288 [H8803]
Blessed
H3068
be the LORD,
H7378 [H8804]
that hath pleaded
H7379
the cause
H2781
of my reproach
H3027
from the hand
H5037
of Nabal,
H2820 [H8804]
and hath kept
H5650
his servant
H7451
from evil:
H3068
for the LORD
H7725 [H8689]
hath returned
H7451
the evil
H5037
of Nabal
H7218
upon his own head.
H1732
And David
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H1696 [H8762]
and talked
H26
with Abigail,
H3947 [H8800]
to take
H802
her to himself for a wife.
40
H5650
And when the servants
H1732
of David
H935 [H8799]
had come
H26
to Abigail
H3760
to Carmel,
H1696 [H8762]
they spoke
H559 [H8800]
to her, saying,
H1732
David
H7971 [H8804]
hath sent
H3947 [H8800]
us to thee, to take
H802
thee to him for a wife.
41
H6965 [H8799]
And she arose,
H7812 [H8691]
and bowed
H639
herself on her nose
H776
to the earth,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H519
Behold, let thy handmaid
H8198
be a servant
H7364 [H8800]
to wash
H7272
the feet
H5650
of the servants
H113
of my sovereign.
42
H26
And Abigail
H4116 [H8762]
hasted,
H6965 [H8799]
and arose,
H7392 [H8799]
and rode
H2543
upon a donkey,
H2568
with five
H5291
damsels
H1980 [H8802]
of hers that went
H7272
after
H3212 [H8799]
her; and she went
H310
after
H4397
the messengers
H1732
of David,
H802
and became his wife.
