1 Samuel 25:23-38 - Abigail Intercedes For Nabal
23 And Abigail will see David, and will hasten, and will come down from the ass, and fall before David upon her face, and will worship him to the earth. 24 And she will fall at his feet and say, In me, my lord, me the iniquity; and thy servant now will speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy servant. 25 Now my lord shall not set his heart to this man of Belial upon Nebel: for as his name, so is he: Nabal his name, and folly with him: and I thy servant saw not the boys of my lord which thou sentest 26 And now my lord, Jehovah lives and thy soul lives, for Jehovah withheld thee from coming by blood, and saving thy hand to thyself, and now thine enemies shall be as Nabal, they seeking out evil to my lord. 27 And now this blessing which thy servant brought to my give it to the boys going at the feet of my lord. 28 Lift up now, to the trespass of thy servant: for making, Jehovah will make to my lord a faithful house; for Jehovah fought the battles of my lord, and evil shall not be found in thee thy days.
29 And a man will rise to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: and the soul of my lord was bound up in the bundle of lives with Jehovah thy God; and the soul of thine enemies he will sling out in the midst of the hand of the sling. 30 And it was that Jehovah will do to my lord according to all the good which he spake concerning thee, and he commanded thee for leader over Israel; 31 And this shall not be to thee for an obstacle and for a stumbling-block of heart to my lord, and to pour out blood gratuitously, and for my lord saving for himself: and the doing good of Jehovah to my lord, and remember thy servant
32 And David will say to Abigail, Blessed Jehovah the God of Israel who sent thee this day to meet me. 33 And blessed thy discernment, and blessed thou who finished me this day from coming for bloods, and my hand saving for me. 34 But yet Jehovah the God of Israel lives who withheld me from doing thee evil, for unless thou hastenedst and came to meet me, for if there was left to Nabal by the light of the morning him pissing against the wall. 35 And David will take from her hand what she brought to him, and he said to her, Go up for peace to thy house; see, I heard to thy voice, and I will lift up thy face.
36 And Abigail will go to Nabal; and behold, to him a drinking in his house as the drinking of a king; and Nabal's heart good with him, and he was intoxicated even greatly; and she announced not to him a word small and great till the light of the morning.
37 And it will be in the morning in the wine coming forth from Nabal, and his wife will announce to him these words, and his heart will die in the midst of him, and he was for a stone. 38 And it will be about ten days, and Jehovah will strike Nabal, and he will die.
