Abigail Intercedes For Nabal

²⁵ Let not my lord regard this unthrifty man 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 lord which thou sendest. ²⁶ And now my lord as sure as the LORD liveth and as thy soul liveth, the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood and from avenging thyself with thine own hand. Furthermore, I pray God that thine enemies and they that intend to do my lord evil, may be as Nabal. ²⁷ And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

Into Your Hands

It is the Lord

With Blood

As You Live

Thine Enemies
