Thematic Bible: Often scenes of great intemperance


Thematic Bible



Abigail returned to Nabal, and he was there in his house holding a festival like the festival of a king. Nabal's heart was glad, and he was very drunk, so she didn't tell him anything at all until morning.

As ordered, they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken from the sanctuary of God's Temple in Jerusalem, and the king, his officials, his wives, and mistresses drank from them. As they drank the wine, they praised gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
