1 Samuel 25:31
Compare all
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,  
31 that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. But when the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember your maidservant.”
32 Then David said to Abigail: a“Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!  
33 And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have akept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand.  
34 For indeed, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has akept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely bby morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!”  
35 So David received from her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, a“Go up in peace to your house. See, I have heeded your voice and brespected your person.”  
36 Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, aholding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light.

1 Samuel 25:31

No grief - The mind and conscience will be free from all the torment which such an action would cause in thee. By which, she intimates, what a blemish this would be to his glory, what a disturbance to his peace, if he proceeded to execute his purpose: and withal implies, how comfortable it would be to him to remember, that he had for conscience to God, restrained his passions. Causeless - Which she signifies would be done if he should go on. For though Nabal had been guilty of abominable rudeness, and ingratitude; yet he had done nothing worthy of death, by the laws of God or of man. And whatsoever he had done, the rest of his family were innocent. Avenged - Which is directly contrary to God's law, Leviticus 19:18; Deuteronomy 32:35. Then - When God shall make thee king, let me find grace in thy sight.
