1 Samuel 25:22

1 Samuel 25:22

20 So it was, as she rode on the donkey, that she went down under cover of the hill; and there were David and his men, coming down toward her, and she met them.

21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belongs to him. And he has ^arepaid me evil for good.

22 ^aMay God do so, and more also, to the enemies of David, if I ^bleave ^cone male of all who belong to him by morning light.”

23 Now when Abigail saw David, she ^adismounted quickly from the donkey, fell on her face before David, and bowed down to the ground.

24 So she fell at his feet and said: “On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be! And please let your maidservant¹ speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 1 Samuel 25:21

1 Samuel 25:23 >>

Enemies of David - That is, unto David himself. But because it might seem ominous to curse himself, therefore instead of David, he mentions David's enemies. But is this the voice of David? Can he speak so unadvisedly with his lips? Has he been so long in the school of affliction, and learned no more patience therein? Lord, what is man? And what need have we to pray, lead us not into temptation.
