And SamuelH8050 diedH4191; and all the IsraelitesH3478 were gathered togetherH6908, and lamentedH5594 him, and buriedH6912 him in his houseH1004 at RamahH7414. And DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and went downH3381 to the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290.
And there was a manH376 in MaonH4584, whose possessionsH4639 were in CarmelH3760; and the manH376 was veryH3966 greatH1419, and he had threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and a thousandH505 goatsH5795: and he was shearingH1494 his sheepH6629 in CarmelH3760. {possessions: or, business}
Now the nameH8034 of the manH376 was NabalH5037; and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 AbigailH26: and she was a womanH802 of goodH2896 understandingH7922, and of a beautifulH3303 countenanceH8389: but the manH376 was churlishH7186 and evilH7451 in his doingsH4611; and he was of the house of CalebH3614.
And DavidH1732 heardH8085 in the wildernessH4057 that NabalH5037 did shearH1494 his sheepH6629.
And DavidH1732 sent outH7971 tenH6235 young menH5288, and DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the young menH5288, Get you upH5927 to CarmelH3760, and goH935 to NabalH5037, and greetH7592+H7965 him in my nameH8034: {greet…: Heb. ask him in my name of peace}
And thus shall ye sayH559 to him that livethH2416 in prosperity, PeaceH7965 be both to thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine houseH1004, and peaceH7965 be unto all that thou hast.
And now I have heardH8085 that thou hast shearersH1494: now thy shepherdsH7462 which were with us, we hurtH3637 them not, neither was there oughtH3972 missingH6485 unto them, all the whileH3117 they were in CarmelH3760. {hurt: Heb. shamed}
AskH7592 thy young menH5288, and they will shewH5046 thee. Wherefore let the young menH5288 findH4672 favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869: for we comeH935 in a goodH2896 dayH3117: giveH5414, I pray thee, whatsoever comethH4672 to thine handH3027 unto thy servantsH5650, and to thy sonH1121 DavidH1732.
And when David'sH1732 young menH5288 cameH935, they spakeH1696 to NabalH5037 according to all those wordsH1697 in the nameH8034 of DavidH1732, and ceasedH5117. {ceased: Heb. rested}
And NabalH5037 answeredH6030 David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and saidH559, Who is DavidH1732? and who is the sonH1121 of JesseH3448? there be manyH7231 servantsH5650 now a daysH3117 that break awayH6555 every manH376 fromH6440 his masterH113.
Shall I then takeH3947 my breadH3899, and my waterH4325, and my fleshH2878 that I have killedH2873 for my shearersH1494, and giveH5414 it unto menH582, whom I knowH3045 not whence they be? {flesh: Heb. slaughter}
So David'sH1732 young menH5288 turnedH2015 their wayH1870, and went againH7725, and cameH935 and toldH5046 him all those sayingsH1697.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto his menH582, Gird ye onH2296 every manH376 his swordH2719. And they girded onH2296 every manH376 his swordH2719; and DavidH1732 also girded onH2296 his swordH2719: and there went upH5927 afterH310 DavidH1732 about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376; and two hundredH3967 abodeH3427 by the stuffH3627.
But oneH259 of the young menH5288 toldH5046 AbigailH26, Nabal'sH5037 wifeH802, sayingH559, Behold, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 out of the wildernessH4057 to saluteH1288 our masterH113; and he railedH5860 on them. {railed…: Heb. flew upon them}
But the menH582 were veryH3966 goodH2896 unto us, and we were not hurtH3637, neither missedH6485 we any thingH3972, as long asH3117 we were conversantH1980 with them, when we were in the fieldsH7704: {hurt: Heb. shamed}
They were a wallH2346 unto us both by nightH3915 and dayH3119, all the whileH3117 we were with them keepingH7462 the sheepH6629.
Now therefore knowH3045 and considerH7200 what thou wilt doH6213; for evilH7451 is determinedH3615 against our masterH113, and against all his householdH1004: for he is such a sonH1121 of BelialH1100, that a man cannot speakH1696 to him.
Then AbigailH26 made hasteH4116, and tookH3947 two hundredH3967 loavesH3899, and twoH8147 bottlesH5035 of wineH3196, and fiveH2568 sheepH6629 ready dressedH6213, and fiveH2568 measuresH5429 of parchedH7039 corn, and an hundredH3967 clusters of raisinsH6778, and two hundredH3967 cakesH1690 of figs, and laidH7760 them on assesH2543. {clusters: or, lumps}
And she saidH559 unto her servantsH5288, Go onH5674 beforeH6440 me; behold, I comeH935 afterH310 you. But she toldH5046 not her husbandH376 NabalH5037.
And it was so, as she rodeH7392 on the assH2543, that she came downH3381 by the covertH5643 of the hillH2022, and, behold, DavidH1732 and his menH582 came downH3381 againstH7125 her; and she metH6298 them.
Now DavidH1732 had saidH559, Surely in vainH8267 have I keptH8104 all that thisH2088 fellow hath in the wildernessH4057, so that nothingH3972 was missedH6485 of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requitedH7725 me evilH7451 for goodH2896.
SoH3541 and moreH3254 also doH6213 GodH430 unto the enemiesH341 of DavidH1732, if I leaveH7604 of all that pertain to him byH5704 the morningH1242 lightH216 any that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023.
And when AbigailH26 sawH7200 DavidH1732, she hastedH4116, and lighted offH3381 the assH2543, and fellH5307 beforeH639 DavidH1732 on her faceH6440, and bowedH7812 herself to the groundH776,
And fellH5307 at his feetH7272, and saidH559, Upon me, my lordH113, upon me let this iniquityH5771 be: and let thine handmaidH519, I pray thee, speakH1696 in thine audienceH241, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of thine handmaidH589. {audience: Heb. ears}
LetH7760 not my lordH113, I pray thee, regardH3820 this manH376 of BelialH1100, even NabalH5037: for as his nameH8034 is, so is he; NabalH5037 is his nameH8034, and follyH5039 is with him: but I thine handmaidH519 sawH7200 not the young menH5288 of my lordH113, whom thou didst sendH7971. {regard: Heb. lay it to his heart} {Nabal: that is, Fool}
Now therefore, my lordH113, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, seeing the LORDH3068 hath withholdenH4513 thee from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 thyself with thine own handH3027, now let thine enemiesH341, and they that seekH1245 evilH7451 to my lordH113, be as NabalH5037. {avenging…: Heb. saving thyself}
And now this blessingH1293 which thine handmaidH8198 hath broughtH935 unto my lordH113, let it even be givenH5414 unto the young menH5288 that followH1980+H7272 my lordH113. {blessing: or, present} {follow…: Heb. walk at the feet of, etc}
I pray thee, forgiveH5375 the trespassH6588 of thine handmaidH519: for the LORDH3068 will certainlyH6213 makeH6213 my lordH113 a sureH539 houseH1004; because my lordH113 fightethH3898 the battlesH4421 of the LORDH3068, and evilH7451 hath not been foundH4672 in thee all thy daysH3117.
Yet a manH120 is risenH6965 to pursueH7291 thee, and to seekH1245 thy soulH5315: but the soulH5315 of my lordH113 shall be boundH6887 in the bundleH6872 of lifeH2416 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; and the soulsH5315 of thine enemiesH341, them shall he sling outH7049, as out of the middleH8432+H3709 of a slingH7050. {as out…: Heb. in the midst of the bought of a sling}
And it shall come to pass, when the LORDH3068 shall have doneH6213 to my lordH113 according to all the goodH2896 that he hath spokenH1696 concerning thee, and shall have appointedH6680 thee rulerH5057 over IsraelH3478;
That this shall be no griefH6330 unto thee, nor offenceH4383 of heartH3820 unto my lordH113, either that thou hast shedH8210 bloodH1818 causelessH2600, or that my lordH113 hath avengedH3467 himself: but when the LORDH3068 shall have dealt wellH3190 with my lordH113, then rememberH2142 thine handmaidH519. {no grief: Heb. no staggering, or, stumbling}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbigailH26, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which sentH7971 thee this dayH3117 to meetH7125 me:
And blessedH1288 be thy adviceH2940, and blessedH1288 be thou, which hast keptH3607 me this dayH3117 from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 myself with mine own handH3027.
For in very deedH199, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, which hath kept me backH4513 from hurtingH7489 thee, exceptH3884 thou hadst hastedH4116 and comeH935 to meetH7125 me, surely there had not been leftH3498 unto NabalH5037 by the morningH1242 lightH216 any that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023.
So DavidH1732 receivedH3947 of her handH3027 that which she had broughtH935 him, and saidH559 unto her, Go upH5927 in peaceH7965 to thine houseH1004; seeH7200, I have hearkenedH8085 to thy voiceH6963, and have acceptedH5375 thy personH6440.
And AbigailH26 cameH935 to NabalH5037; and, behold, he held a feastH4960 in his houseH1004, like the feastH4960 of a kingH4428; and Nabal'sH5037 heartH3820 was merryH2896 within him, for he was veryH3966 drunkenH7910: wherefore she toldH5046 him nothingH1697, lessH6996 or moreH1419, until the morningH1242 lightH216.
But it came to pass in the morningH1242, when the wineH3196 was gone outH3318 of NabalH5037, and his wifeH802 had toldH5046 him these thingsH1697, that his heartH3820 diedH4191 withinH7130 him, and he became as a stoneH68.
And it came to pass about tenH6235 daysH3117 after, that the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 NabalH5037, that he diedH4191.
And when DavidH1732 heardH8085 that NabalH5037 was deadH4191, he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, that hath pleadedH7378 the causeH7379 of my reproachH2781 from the handH3027 of NabalH5037, and hath keptH2820 his servantH5650 from evilH7451: for the LORDH3068 hath returnedH7725 the wickednessH7451 of NabalH5037 upon his own headH7218. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and communedH1696 with AbigailH26, to takeH3947 her to him to wifeH802.
And when the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 were comeH935 to AbigailH26 to CarmelH3760, they spakeH1696 unto her, sayingH559, DavidH1732 sentH7971 us unto thee, to takeH3947 thee to him to wifeH802.
And she aroseH6965, and bowedH7812 herself on her faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559, Behold, let thine handmaidH519 be a servantH8198 to washH7364 the feetH7272 of the servantsH5650 of my lordH113.
And AbigailH26 hastedH4116, and aroseH6965, and rodeH7392 upon an assH2543, with fiveH2568 damselsH5291 of hers that wentH1980 afterH7272 her; and she wentH3212 afterH310 the messengersH4397 of DavidH1732, and became his wifeH802. {after her: Heb. at her feet}
DavidH1732 also tookH3947 AhinoamH293 of JezreelH3157; and they were also bothH8147 of them his wivesH802.
But SaulH7586 had givenH5414 MichalH4324 his daughterH1323, David'sH1732 wifeH802, to PhaltiH6406 the sonH1121 of LaishH3919, which was of GallimH1554.

And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbigailH26, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which sentH7971 thee this dayH3117 to meetH7125 me:
For the LORDH3068 will pleadH7378 their causeH7379, and spoilH6906 the soulH5315 of those that spoiledH6906 them.
Now therefore, my lordH113, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, seeing the LORDH3068 hath withholdenH4513 thee from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 thyself with thine own handH3027, now let thine enemiesH341, and they that seekH1245 evilH7451 to my lordH113, be as NabalH5037. {avenging…: Heb. saving thyself}
And afterwardH310 when DavidH1732 heardH8085 it, he saidH559, I and my kingdomH4467 are guiltlessH5355 before the LORDH3068 forH5704 everH5769 from the bloodH1818 of AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369: {blood: Heb. bloods}
Whoso findethH4672 a wifeH802 findethH4672 a goodH2896 thing, and obtainethH6329 favourH7522 of the LORDH3068.
PraiseH1288 ye the LORDH3068 for the avengingH6544+H6546 of IsraelH3478, when the peopleH5971 willingly offeredH5068 themselves.
O LordH136, thou hast pleadedH7378 the causesH7379 of my soulH5315; thou hast redeemedH1350 my lifeH2416.
O LORDH3068, thou hast seenH7200 my wrongH5792: judgeH8199 thou my causeH4941.
Thou hast seenH7200 all their vengeanceH5360 and all their imaginationsH4284 against me.
For in very deedH199, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, which hath kept me backH4513 from hurtingH7489 thee, exceptH3884 thou hadst hastedH4116 and comeH935 to meetH7125 me, surely there had not been leftH3498 unto NabalH5037 by the morningH1242 lightH216 any that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023.
Let it restH2342 on the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and on all his father'sH1 houseH1004; and let there not failH3772 from the houseH1004 of JoabH3097 one that hath an issueH2100, or that is a leperH6879, or that leanethH2388 on a staffH6418, or that fallethH5307 on the swordH2719, or that lackethH2638 breadH3899. {fail: Heb. be cut off}
HouseH1004 and richesH1952 are the inheritanceH5159 of fathersH1: and a prudentH7919 wifeH802 is from the LORDH3068.
The LORDH3068 livethH2416; and blessedH1288 be my rockH6697; and exaltedH7311 be the GodH430 of the rockH6697 of my salvationH3468.
It is GodH410 that avengethH5414+H5360 me, and that bringeth downH3381 the peopleH5971 under me, {avengeth: Heb. giveth avengement for}
And that bringeth me forthH3318 from mine enemiesH341: thou also hast lifted me up on highH7311 above them that rose upH6965 against me: thou hast deliveredH5337 me from the violentH2555 manH376.
I will bearH5375 the indignationH2197 of the LORDH3068, because I have sinnedH2398 against him, until he pleadH7378 my causeH7379, and executeH6213 judgmentH4941 for me: he will bring me forthH3318 to the lightH216, and I shall beholdH7200 his righteousnessH6666.
Therefore, behold, I will hedgeH7753 up thy wayH1870 with thornsH5518, and makeH1443 a wallH1447, that she shall not findH4672 her pathsH5410. {make…: Heb. wall a wall}
The kingH4428 saidH559 moreover to ShimeiH8096, Thou knowestH3045 all the wickednessH7451 which thine heartH3824 is privy toH3045, that thou didstH6213 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1: therefore the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 thy wickednessH7451 upon thine own headH7218;
The righteousH6662 shall rejoiceH8055 when he seethH2372 the vengeanceH5359: he shall washH7364 his feetH6471 in the bloodH1818 of the wickedH7563.
And she shall followH7291 after her loversH157, but she shall not overtakeH5381 them; and she shall seekH1245 them, but shall not findH4672 them: then shall she sayH559, I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my firstH7223 husbandH376; for then was it betterH2896 with me than nowH6258.
So they hangedH8518 HamanH2001 on the gallowsH6086 that he had preparedH3559 for MordecaiH4782. Then was the king'sH4428 wrathH2534 pacifiedH7918.
FavourH2580 is deceitfulH8267, and beautyH3308 is vainH1892: but a womanH802 that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068, she shall be praisedH1984.
So that a manH120 shall sayH559, Verily there is a rewardH6529 for the righteousH6662: verily he isH3426 a GodH430 that judgethH8199 in the earthH776. {a reward…: Heb. fruit of the, etc}
NowG1161 I prayG2172 toG4314 GodG2316 that yeG5209 doG3361+G4160 noG3367 evilG2556; notG3756 thatG2443 weG2249 should appearG5316 approvedG1384, butG235 thatG2443 yeG5210 should doG4160 that which is honestG2570, thoughG1161 weG2249 beG5600 asG5613 reprobatesG96.
His mischiefH5999 shall returnH7725 upon his own headH7218, and his violentH2555 dealing shall come downH3381 upon his own pateH6936.
AndG2532 afterG3326 these thingsG5023 I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 of muchG4183 peopleG3793 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239; SalvationG4991, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 powerG1411, unto the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316:
ForG3754 trueG228 andG2532 righteousG1342 are hisG846 judgmentsG2920: forG3754 he hath judgedG2919 the greatG3173 whoreG4204, whichG3748 did corruptG5351 the earthG1093 withG1722 herG846 fornicationG4202, andG2532 hath avengedG1556 the bloodG129 of hisG846 servantsG1401 atG1537 herG846 handG5495.
AndG2532 againG1208 they saidG2046, AlleluiaG239. AndG2532 herG846 smokeG2586 rose upG305 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 andG2532 the fourG5064 beastsG2226 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshippedG4352 GodG2316 that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, AmenG281; AlleluiaG239.
