1 Samuel 25:27 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 25:27

25 Please, let not my lord regard this scoundrel Nabal. For as his name is, so is he:² Nabal is his name, and folly is with him! But I, your maidservant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

26 Now therefore, my lord, ^aas the Lord lives and as your soul lives, since the Lord has ^bheld you back from coming to bloodshed and from ^cavenging yourself with your own hand, now then, ^dlet your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be as Nabal.

27 And now ^athis present which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

28 Please forgive the trespass of your maidservant. For ^athe Lord will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord ^bfights the battles of the Lord, ^cand evil is not found in you throughout your days.

29 Yet a man has risen to pursue you and seek your life, but the life of my lord shall be ^abound in the bundle of the living with the Lord your God; and the lives of your enemies He shall ^bsling out, as from the pocket of a sling.
