1 Samuel 25:15 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 25:15

13 Then David said to his men, “Every man gird on his sword.” So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went with David, and two hundred ^astayed with the supplies.

14 Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he¹ reviled them.

15 But the men were very good to us, and ^awe were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when we were in the fields.

16 They were ^aa wall to us both by night and day, all the time we were with them keeping the sheep.

17 Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for ^aharm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a ^bscoundrel that one cannot speak to him.”

18 Then Abigail made haste and ^atook two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already dressed, five seahs of roasted grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.

19 And she said to her servants, ^a“Go on before me; see, I am coming after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
