1 Samuel 25:18 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 25:18

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.

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.
