1 Samuel 25:24-44 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my sovereign, upon me let this perversity be: and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thy hearing, and hear the words of thy handmaid.

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.

43 H1732 David H3947 [H8804] also took H293 Ahinoam H3157 of Jezreel; H8147 and they were also both H802 of them his wives.

44 H7586 But Saul H5414 [H8804] had given H4324 Michal H1323 his daughter, H1732 David's H802 wife, H6406 to Phalti H1121 the son H3919 of Laish, H1554 who was of Gallim.
