1 Samuel 25:32 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 25:32

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.
