1 Samuel 25:28

Compare all

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.

30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ^aruler over Israel,

For the Lord will make ... a sure house - Compare I Samuel 2:35, and II Samuel 7:16; I Kings 11:38. Abigail' s firm persuasion of David' s kingdom stands upon the same footing as Rahab' s conviction of God' s gift of Canaan to the Israelites Joshua 2:9-13. Both testified to God' s revelation and their own faith. This is doubtless the reason why Abigail' s speech is recorded.
