  25:1 ¶
And Samuel died, and all Israel assembled, and bewailed him, and they bury him in his house in Armathaim: and David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon. |
|
25:1 ¶
And Samuel°
died;°°
and all°
the Israelites°
were gathered together,°°
and lamented°°
him, and buried°°
him in his house°
at Ramah.°
And David°
arose,°°
and went down°°
to°
the wilderness°
of Paran.° |
|
25:2
And there was a man in Maon, and his flocks were in Carmel, and [he was] a very great man; and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand she-goats: and he happened to be shearing his flock in Carmel. |
|
25:2
And [there was] a man°
in Maon,°
whose possessions°
[were] in Carmel;°
and the man°
[was] very°
great,°
and he had three°
thousand°
sheep,°
and a thousand°
goats:°
and he was°
shearing°°°
his sheep°
in Carmel.° |
|
25:3
And the man's name [was] Nabal, and his wife's name [was] Abigail{gr.Abigaia}: and his wife [was] of good understanding and very beautiful in person: but the man [was] harsh, and evil in his doings, and the man [was] churlish. |
|
25:3
Now the name°
of the man°
[was] Nabal;°
and the name°
of his wife°
Abigail:°
and [she was] a woman°
of good°
understanding,°
and of a beautiful°
countenance:°
but the man°
[was] churlish°
and evil°
in his doings;°
and he°
[was] of the house of Caleb.°° |
|
25:4 ¶
And David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep. |
|
25:4 ¶
And David°
heard°°
in the wilderness°
that°
Nabal°
did shear°°°
his sheep.° |
|
25:5
And David sent ten young men, and he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name how he is. |
|
25:5
And David°
sent out°°
ten°
young men,°
and David°
said°°
unto the young men,°
Get you up°°
to Carmel,°
and go°°
to°
Nabal,°
and greet°°°
him in my name:° |
|
25:6
And thus shall ye say, May thou and thy house seasonably prosper, and all thine be in prosperity. |
|
25:6
And thus°
shall ye say°°
to him that liveth°
[in prosperity], Peace°
[be] both to thee,°
and peace°
[be] to thine house,°
and peace°
[be] unto all°
that°
thou hast. |
|
25:7
And now, behold, I have heard that thy shepherds who were with is in the wilderness are shearing thy sheep, and we hindered them not, neither did we demand any thing from them all the time they were in Carmel. |
|
25:7
And now°
I have heard°°
that°
thou hast shearers:°°
now°
thy shepherds°°
which°
were°
with°
us, we hurt°°
them not,°
neither°
was there ought°
missing°°
unto them, all°
the while°
they were°
in Carmel.° |
|
25:8
Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Let then thy servants find grace in thine eyes, for we are come on a good day; give we pray thee, whatsoever thy hand may find, to thy son David. |
|
25:8
Ask°°°
thy young men,°
and they will shew°°
thee. Wherefore let the young men°
find°°
favour°
in thine eyes:°
for°
we come°°
in°
a good°
day:°
give,°°
I pray thee,°°
whatsoever°
cometh°°
to thine hand°
unto thy servants,°
and to thy son°
David.° |
|
25:9
So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David. |
|
25:9
And when David's°
young men°
came,°°
they spake°°
to°
Nabal°
according to all°
those°
words°
in the name°
of David,°
and ceased.°° |
|
25:10 ¶
And Nabal sprang up, and answered the servants of David, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jesse{gr.Jessae}? Now-a-days there is abundance of servants who depart every one from his master. |
|
25:10 ¶
And Nabal°
answered°°°
David's°
servants,°
and said,°°
Who°
[is] David?°
and who°
[is] the son°
of Jesse?°
there be many°°
servants°
now a days°
that break away°°
every man°
from°°
his adon.° |
|
25:11
And shall I take my bread, and my wine, and my beasts that I have slain for my shearers, and shall I give them to men of whom I know not whence they are? |
|
25:11
Shall I then take°°°
my bread,°
and my water,°
and my flesh°
that°
I have killed°°
for my shearers,°°
and give°°
[it] unto men,°°
whom°
I know°°
not°
whence°°°
they°
[be]? |
|
25:12
So the servants of David turned back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these words. |
|
25:12
So David's°
young men°
turned°°
their way,°
and went again,°°
and came°°
and told°°
him all°
those°
sayings.° |
|
25:13
And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men: and two hundred abode with the stuff. |
|
25:13
And David°
said°°
unto his men,°°
Gird ye on°°
every man°°
his sword.°
And they girded on°°
every man°°
his sword;°
and David°
also°
girded on°°°
his sword:°
and there went up°°
after°
David°
about four°
hundred°
men;°
and two hundred°
abode°°
by°
the stuff.° |
|
25:14 ¶
And one of the servants reported to Abigail{gr.Abigaia} the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them. |
|
25:14 ¶
But one°°
of the young men°°
told°°
Abigail,°
Nabal's°
wife,°
saying,°°
Behold,°
David°
sent°°
messengers°
out of the wilderness°°
to salute°°°
our adon;°
and he railed°°
on them. |
|
25:15
And the men were very good to us; they did not hinder us, neither did they demand from us any thing all the days that we were with them. |
|
25:15
But the men°°
[were] very°
good°
unto us, and we were not°
hurt,°°
neither°
missed°°
we any thing,°
as long as°°
we were conversant°°
with°
them, when we were°
in the fields:° |
|
25:16
And when we were in the field, they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the days that we were with them feeding the flock. |
|
25:16
They were°
a wall°
unto°
us both°
by night°
and°
day,°
all°
the while°
we were°
with°
them keeping°°
the sheep.° |
|
25:17
And now do thou consider, and see what thou wilt do; for mischief is determined against our lord and against his house; and he [is] a vile character, and one cannot speak to him. |
|
25:17
Now°
therefore know°°
and consider°°
what°
thou wilt do;°°
for°
evil°
is determined°°
against°
our adon,°
and against°
all°
his household:°
for he°
[is such] a son°
of Belial,°
that [a man] cannot speak°°°
to°
him. |
|
25:18 ¶
And Abigail{gr.Abigaia} hasted, and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon asses. |
|
25:18 ¶
Then Abigail°
made haste,°°
and took°°
two hundred°
loaves,°
and two°
bottles°
of wine,°
and five°
sheep°
ready dressed,°°
and five°
measures°
of parched°
[corn], and an hundred°
clusters of raisins,°
and two hundred°
cakes°
of figs,°
and laid°°
[them] on°
asses.° |
|
25:19
And she said to her servants, Go on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband. |
|
25:19
And she said°°
unto her servants,°
Go on°°
before°
me; behold,°
I come°°
after°
you. But she told°°
not°
her husband°
Nabal.° |
|
25:20
And it came to pass when she had mounted her ass and was going down by the covert of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down to meet her, and she met them. |
|
25:20
And it was°
[so, as] she°
rode°°
on°
the ass,°
that she came down°°
by the covert°
of the hill,°
and, behold,°
David°
and his men°°
came down°°
against°°
her; and she met°°
them. |
|
25:21
And David said, Perhaps I have kept all his possessions in the wilderness that he should wrong me, and we did not order the taking anything of all his goods; yet he has rewarded me evil for good. |
|
25:21
Now David°
had said,°°
Surely°
in vain°
have I kept°°°
all°
that°
this°
[fellow] hath in the wilderness,°
so that nothing°°
was missed°°
of all°°
that°
[pertained] unto him: and he hath requited°°
me evil°
for°
good.° |
|
25:22
So God do to David and more also, if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning. |
|
25:22
So°
and more°°
also°
do°°
Elohim°
unto the enemies°°
of David,°
if°
I leave°°
of all°°
that°
[pertain] to him by°
the morning°
light°°
any that pisseth°°
against the wall.° |
|
25:23
And Abigail{gr.Abigaia} saw David, and she hasted and alighted from her ass; and she felt before David on her face, and did obeisance to him, [bowing] to the ground |
|
25:23
And when Abigail°
saw°°°
David,°
she hasted,°°
and lighted°
off°°°°
the ass,°
and fell°°
before°
David°
on°
her face,°
and bowed°°
herself°
to the ground,° |
|
25:24
[even] to his feet, and said, On me, my lord, be my wrong: let, I pray thee, thy servant speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy servant. |
|
25:24
And fell°°
at°
his feet,°
and said,°°
Upon me,°
my adon,°
[upon] me [let this] iniquity°
[be]: and let thine handmaid,°
I pray thee,°
speak°°
in thine audience,°
and hear°°°
the words°
of thine handmaid.°° |
|
25:25
Let not my lord, I pray thee, take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the servants of my lord whom thou didst send. |
|
25:25
Let°°
not°
my adon,°
I pray thee,°
regard°°°°
this°
man°
of Belial,°
[even] Nabal:°
for°
as his name°
[is], so°
[is] he;°
Nabal°
[is] his name,°
and folly°
[is] with°
him: but I°
thine handmaid°
saw°°
not°°
the young men°
of my adon,°
whom°
thou didst send.°° |
|
25:26
And now, my lord, [as] the Lord lives, and thy soul lives, as the Lord has kept thee from coming against innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for thyself, now therefore let thine enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as Nabal. |
|
25:26
Now°
therefore, my adon,°
[as] Yahweh°
liveth,°
and [as] thy soul°
liveth,°
seeing°
Yahweh°
hath withholden°°
thee from coming°°°
to [shed] blood,°
and from avenging°°
thyself with thine own hand,°
now°
let thine enemies,°°
and they that seek°°
evil°
to°
my adon,°
be°
as Nabal.° |
|
25:27
And now accept this token of goodwill, which thy servant has brought to my lord, and thou shalt give it to the servants that wait on my lord. |
|
25:27
And now°
this°
blessing°
which°
thine handmaid°
hath brought°°
unto my adon,°
let it even be given°°
unto the young men°
that follow°°°
my adon.° |
|
25:28
Remove, I pray thee, the trespass of thy servant; for the Lord will surely make for my lord a sure house, for the Lord fights the battles of my lord, and there shall no evil be ever found in thee. |
|
25:28
I pray thee,°
forgive°°
the trespass°
of thine handmaid:°
for°
Yahweh°
will certainly°°
make°°
my adon°
a sure°°
house;°
because°
my adon°
fighteth°°
the battles°
of Yahweh,°
and evil°
hath not°
been found°°
in thee [all] thy days.°° |
|
25:29
And [if] a man shall rise up persecuting thee and seeking thy life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and thou shalt whirl the life of thine enemies [as] in the midst of a sling. |
|
25:29
Yet a man°
is risen°°
to pursue°°
thee, and to seek°°°
thy soul:°
but the soul°
of my adon°
shall be°
bound°°
in the bundle°
of life°
with°
Yahweh°
thy Elohim;°
and the souls°
of thine enemies,°°
them shall he sling out,°°
[as out] of the middle°°
of a sling.° |
|
25:30
And it shall be when the Lord shall have wrought for my lord all the good things he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee to be ruler over Israel; |
|
25:30
And it shall come to pass,°
when°
Yahweh°
shall have done°°
to my adon°
according to all°°
the good°
that°
he hath spoken°°
concerning°
thee, and shall have appointed°°
thee ruler°
over°
Israel;° |
|
25:31
then this shall not be an abomination and offence to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do good to my lord, and thou shalt remember thine handmaid to do her good. |
|
25:31
That this°
shall be°
no°
grief°
unto thee, nor offence°
of heart°
unto my adon,°
either that thou hast shed°°
blood°
causeless,°
or that my adon°
hath avenged°°
himself: but when Yahweh°
shall have dealt well°°
with my adon,°
then remember°°°
thine handmaid.° |
|
25:32 ¶
And David said to Abigail{gr.Abigaia}, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who sent thee this very day to meet me: |
|
25:32 ¶
And David°
said°°
to Abigail,°
Blessed°°
[be] Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel,°
which°
sent°°
thee this°
day°
to meet°°
me: |
|
25:33
and blessed [be] thy conduct, and blessed [be] thou, who hast hindered me this very day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself. |
|
25:33
And blessed°°
[be] thy advice,°
and blessed°°
[be] thou,°
which°
hast kept°°
me this°
day°
from coming°°°
to [shed] blood,°
and from avenging°°
myself with mine own hand.° |
|
25:34
But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing thee harm, if thou hadst not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall [surely] not be left to Nabal till the morning one male. |
|
25:34
For in very deed,°
[as] Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel°
liveth,°
which°
hath kept me back°°
from hurting°°°
thee, except°°
thou hadst hasted°°
and come°°
to meet°°
me, surely°
there had not°
been left°°
unto Nabal°
by°
the morning°
light°
any that pisseth°°
against the wall.° |
|
25:35
And David took of her hand all that she brought to him, and said to her, Go in peace to thy house: see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and accepted thy petition. |
|
25:35
So David°
received°°
of her hand°°°
[that] which°
she had brought°°
him, and said°°
unto her, Go up°°
in peace°
to thine house;°
see,°°
I have hearkened°°
to thy voice,°
and have accepted°°
thy person.° |
|
25:36 ¶
And Abigail{gr.Abigaia} came to Nabal: and, behold, he had a banquet in this house, as the banquet of a king, and the heart of Nabal [was] merry within him, and he [was] very drunken: and she told him nothing great or small till the morning light. |
|
25:36 ¶
And Abigail°
came°°
to°
Nabal;°
and, behold,°
he held a feast°
in his house,°
like the feast°
of a king;°
and Nabal's°
heart°
[was] merry°
within°
him, for he°
[was] very°°
drunken:°
wherefore she told°°
him nothing,°°
less°
or more,°
until°
the morning°
light.° |
|
25:37
And it came to pass in the morning, when Nabal recovered from his wine, his wife told him these words; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. |
|
25:37
But it came to pass°
in the morning,°
when the wine°
was gone out°°
of Nabal,°°
and his wife°
had told°°
him°
these°
things,°
that his heart°
died°°
within°
him, and he°
became°
[as] a stone.° |
|
25:38
And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord smote Nabal, and he died. |
|
25:38
And it came to pass°
about ten°
days°
[after], that Yahweh°
smote°°°
Nabal,°
that he died.°° |
|
25:39 ¶
And David heard it and said, Blessed [be] the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigail{gr.Abigaia}, to take her to himself for a wife. |
|
25:39 ¶
And when David°
heard°°
that°
Nabal°
was dead,°°
he said,°°
Blessed°°
[be] Yahweh,°
that°
hath pleaded°°°
the cause°
of my reproach°
from the hand°°
of Nabal,°
and hath kept°°
his servant°
from evil:°°
for Yahweh°
hath returned°°
the wickedness°
of Nabal°
upon his own head.°
And David°
sent°°
and communed°°
with Abigail,°
to take°°
her to him to wife.° |
|
25:40
So the servants of David came to Abigail{gr.Abigaia} to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife. |
|
25:40
And when the servants°
of David°
were come°°
to°
Abigail°
to Carmel,°
they spake°°
unto°
her, saying,°°
David°
sent°°
us unto°
thee, to take°°
thee to him to wife.° |
|
25:41
And she arose, and did reverence with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy servant [is] for an handmaid to wash the feet of thy servants. |
|
25:41
And she arose,°°
and bowed°°
herself°
on [her] face°
to the earth,°
and said,°°
Behold,°
[let] thine handmaid°
[be] a servant°
to wash°°
the feet°
of the servants°
of my adon.° |
|
25:42
And Abigail{gr.Abigaia} arose, and mounted her ass, and five damsels followed her: and she went after the servants of David, and became his wife. |
|
25:42
And Abigail°
hasted,°°
and arose,°°
and rode°°
upon°
an ass,°
with five°
damsels°
of hers that went°°
after°
her; and she went°°°
after°
the messengers°
of David,°
and became°
his wife.° |
|
25:43
And David took Achinaam out of Jezreel{gr.Jezrael}, and they were both his wives. |
|
25:43
David°
also took°°
Ahinoam°
of Jezreel;°°
and they were°
also°
both°
of them his wives.° |
|
25:44 ¶
And Saul gave Michal{gr.Melchol} his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma. |
|
25:44 ¶
But Saul°
had given°°°
Michal°
his daughter,°
David's°
wife,°
to Phalti°
the son°
of Laish,°
which°
[was] of Gallim.°° |
