And Samuel H8050 died H4191 W-VQY3MS ; and all H3605 CMS the Israelites H3478 were gathered together H6908 , and lamented H5594 him , and buried H6912 him in his house H1004 B-CMS-3MS at Ramah H7414 . And David H1732 MMS arose H6965 W-VQY3MS , and went down H3381 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the wilderness H4057 of Paran H6290 .
And [ there ] [ was ] a man H376 W-NMS in Maon H4584 , whose possessions H4639 [ were ] in Carmel H3760 ; and the man H376 [ was ] very H3966 ADV great H1419 AMS , and he had three H7969 thousand H505 MMP sheep H6629 NMS , and a thousand H505 W-BMS goats H5795 : and he was H1961 W-VQY3MS shearing H1494 his sheep H6629 GFS-3MS in Carmel H3760 .
Now the name H8034 W-CMS of the man H376 D-NMS [ was ] Nabal H5037 ; and the name H8034 W-CMS of his wife H802 CFS-3MS Abigail H26 : and [ she ] [ was ] a woman H802 of good H2896 understanding H7922 , and of a beautiful H3303 countenance H8389 : but the man H376 D-NMS [ was ] churlish H7186 and evil H7451 in his doings H4611 ; and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS [ was ] of the house of Caleb H3612 .
And David H1732 MMS sent out H7971 W-VQY3MS ten H6235 young men H5288 NMP , and David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the young men H5288 , Get you up H5927 to Carmel H3760 , and go H935 to H413 PREP Nabal H5037 , and greet H7592 him in my name H8034 :
And thus H3541 shall ye say H559 to him that liveth H2416 [ in ] [ prosperity ] , Peace H7965 NMS [ be ] both to thee H859 W-PPRO-2MS , and peace H7965 NMS [ be ] to thine house H1004 , and peace H7965 [ be ] unto all H3605 W-CMS that H834 RPRO thou hast .
And now H6258 W-ADV I have heard H8085 VQQ1MS that H3588 CONJ thou hast shearers H1494 : now H6258 ADV thy shepherds H7462 which H834 RPRO were H1961 VQQ3MP with H5973 PREP-1MP us , we hurt H3637 them not H3808 NADV , neither H3808 ADV was there aught H3972 NMS missing H6485 unto them , all H3605 NMS the while H3117 CMP they were H1961 in Carmel H3760 .
Ask H7592 VQI2MS thy young men H5288 , and they will show H5046 thee . Wherefore let the young men H5288 D-NMP find H4672 favor H2580 NMS in thine eyes H5869 : for H3588 CONJ we come H935 in H5921 PREP a good H2896 AMS day H3117 NMS : give H5414 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , whatsoever H834 RPRO cometh H4672 VQY2MS to thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS unto thy servants H5650 , and to thy son H1121 David H1732 .
And when David H1732 \'s young men H5288 came H935 W-VQY3MP , they spoke H1696 W-VPY3MP to H413 PREP Nabal H5037 according to all H3605 those H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP in the name H8034 B-CMS of David H1732 MMS , and ceased H5117 .
And Nabal H5037 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS David H1732 \'s servants H5650 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Who H4310 W-IPRO [ is ] David H1732 ? and who H4310 W-IPRO [ is ] the son H1121 CMS of Jesse H3448 ? there be many H7231 servants H5650 NMP now a days H3117 D-AMS that break away H6555 every man H376 NMS from M-CMP his master H113 .
Shall I then take H3947 my bread H3899 , and my water H4325 , and my flesh H2878 that H834 RPRO I have killed H2873 for my shearers H1494 , and give H5414 [ it ] unto men H376 , whom H834 RPRO I know H3045 VQY1MS not H3808 NADV whence H335 IPRO they H1992 [ be ] ?
So David H1732 \'s young men H5288 turned H2015 their way H1870 , and went again H7725 W-VUY3MP , and came H935 W-VQY3MP and told H5046 him all H3605 K-NMS those H428 sayings H1697 AMP .
And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto his men H376 NMS , Gird ye on H2296 every man H376 NMS his sword H2719 . And they girded on H2296 every man H376 NMS his sword H2719 ; and David H1732 MMS also H1571 CONJ girded on his sword H2719 : and there went up H5927 after H310 PREP David H1732 about four H702 hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS ; and two hundred H3967 W-MFD abode H3427 VQQ3MP by H5921 PREP the stuff H3627 .
But one H259 MMS of the young men H5288 told H5046 VHQ3MS Abigail H26 , Nabal H5037 \'s wife H802 CFS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Behold H2009 IJEC , David H1732 MMS sent H7971 VQQ3MS messengers H4397 out of the wilderness H4057 to salute H1288 our master H113 ; and he railed H5860 on them .
But the men H376 [ were ] very H3966 ADV good H2896 unto us , and we were not H3808 W-NPAR hurt H3637 , neither H3808 W-NPAR missed H6485 we any thing H3972 NMS , as long as NMS we were conversant H1980 with H854 PREP-3MP them , when we were H1961 in the fields H7704 :
They were H1961 VQQ3MP a wall H2346 unto H5921 PREP-1MP us both H1571 CONJ by night H3915 GMS and H1571 CONJ day H3119 ADV , all H3605 NMS the while H3117 CMP we were H1961 with H5973 PREP-3MP them keeping H7462 the sheep H6629 .
Now H6258 W-ADV therefore know H3045 and consider H7200 what H4100 IGAT thou wilt do H6213 ; for H3588 CONJ evil H7451 D-AFS is determined H3615 against H413 PREP our master H113 , and against H5921 W-PREP all H3605 NMS his household H1004 NMS-3MS : for he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS [ is ] [ such ] a son H1121 of Belial H1100 , that [ a ] [ man ] cannot speak H1696 to H413 PREP him .
Then Abigail H26 made haste H4116 , and took H3947 W-VQY3FS two hundred H3967 MFD loaves H3899 NMS , and two H8147 bottles H5035 of wine H3196 NMS , and five H2568 sheep H6629 NMS ready dressed H6213 , and five H2568 measures H5429 of parched H7039 [ corn ] , and a hundred H3967 clusters of raisins H6778 , and two hundred H3967 W-MFD cakes of figs H1690 , and laid H7760 [ them ] on H5921 PREP asses H2543 .
And she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto her servants H5288 , Go on H5674 before H6440 L-CMP me ; behold H2005 IJEC-1MS , I come H935 VQQ3FS after H310 you . But she told H5046 not H3808 NADV her husband H376 Nabal H5037 .
And it was H1961 W-VQQ3MS [ so , ] [ as ] she H1931 PPRO-3FS rode H7392 on H5921 PREP the ass H2543 , that she came down H3381 by the covert H5643 B-CMS of the hill H2022 , and , behold H2009 IJEC , David H1732 and his men H376 came down H3381 against H7125 her ; and she met H6298 them .
Now David H1732 had said H559 VQQ3MS , Surely H389 ADV in vain H8267 have I kept H8104 VQQ1MS all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO this H2088 [ fellow ] hath in the wilderness H4057 , so that nothing H3808 W-NPAR was missed H6485 of all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO [ pertained ] unto him : and he hath requited H7725 me evil H7451 AFS for H8478 NMS good H2896 NFS .
So H3541 and more H3254 VHY3MS also H3541 do H6213 VQY3MS God H430 EDP unto the enemies H341 of David H1732 , if H518 PART I leave H7604 of all H3605 M-CMS that H834 RPRO [ pertain ] to him by H5704 PREP the morning light H1242 any that pisseth H8366 against the wall H7023 .
And when Abigail H26 saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS David H1732 MMS , she hasted H4116 , and lighted H3381 off H5921 M-PREP the ass H2543 , and fell H5307 W-VQY3FS before H639 David H1732 on H5921 M-PREP her face H6440 , and bowed herself H7812 to the ground H776 GFS ,
And fell H5307 W-VQY3FS at H5921 PREP his feet H7272 , and said H559 W-VQY3FS , Upon me H589 PPRO-1MS , my lord H113 , [ upon ] me [ let ] [ this ] iniquity H5771 [ be ] : and let thine handmaid H519 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , speak H1696 in thine audience H241 , and hear H8085 the words H1697 CMP of thine handmaid H519 .
Let not H408 NPAR my lord H113 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , regard H7760 VQY3MS this H2088 D-PMS man H376 NMS of Belial H1100 , [ even ] Nabal H5037 : for H3588 CONJ as his name H8034 [ is ] , so H3651 [ is ] he H1931 PPRO-3MS ; Nabal H5037 [ is ] his name H8034 CMS-3MS , and folly H5039 [ is ] with H5973 PREP-3MS him : but I H589 thine handmaid H519 saw H7200 VQQ1MS not H3808 NADV the young men H5288 of my lord H113 , whom H834 RPRO thou didst send H7971 .
Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , my lord H113 , [ as ] the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , and [ as ] thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , seeing H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS hath withheld H4513 thee from coming H935 to [ shed ] blood H1818 , and from avenging H3467 thyself with thine own hand H3027 CFS-2MS , now H6258 W-ADV let thine enemies H341 VQPMP-2MS , and they that seek H1245 evil H7451 AFS to H413 PREP my lord H113 , be H1961 as Nabal H5037 .
And now H6258 W-ADV this H2063 D-DFS blessing H1293 which H834 RPRO thine handmaid H8198 hath brought H935 VHQ3MS unto my lord H113 , let it even be given H5414 unto the young men H5288 that follow H1980 my lord H113 .
I pray thee H4994 IJEC , forgive H5375 VQI2MS the trespass H6588 of thine handmaid H519 : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS will certainly make H6213 my lord H113 a sure H539 house H1004 NMS ; because H3588 CONJ my lord H113 fighteth H3898 the battles H4421 of the LORD H3068 EDS , and evil H7451 hath not H3808 NADV been found H4672 VNY3FS in thee [ all ] thy days H3117 .
Yet a man H120 NMS is risen H6965 W-VQY3MS to pursue H7291 thee , and to seek H1245 thy soul H5315 GFS : but the soul H5315 GFS of my lord H113 shall be H1961 bound H6887 in the bundle H6872 B-NMS of life H2416 with H854 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS ; and the souls H5315 GFS of thine enemies H341 VQPMP-2MS , them shall he sling out H7049 , [ as ] [ out ] of the middle H8432 B-NMS of a sling H7050 .
And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS shall have done H6213 VQY3MS to my lord H113 according to all H3605 K-NMS the good H2896 that H834 RPRO he hath spoken H1696 VPQ3MS concerning H5921 PREP thee , and shall have appointed H6680 thee ruler H5057 over H5921 PREP Israel H3478 LMS ;
That this H2063 DPRO shall be H1961 no H3808 W-NPAR grief H6330 unto thee , nor offense H4383 of heart H3820 NMS unto my lord H113 , either that thou hast shed H8210 blood H1818 NMS causeless H2600 ADV , or that my lord H113 hath avenged H3467 himself : but when the LORD H3068 EDS shall have dealt well H3190 with my lord H113 , then remember H2142 thine handmaid H519 .
And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to Abigail H26 , Blessed H1288 VWQ3MS [ be ] the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , which H834 RPRO sent H7971 thee this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS to meet H7125 me :
And blessed H1288 W-VWPMS [ be ] thy advice H2940 , and blessed H1288 [ be ] thou H859 PPRO-2FS , which H834 RPRO hast kept H3607 me this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS from coming H935 to [ shed ] blood H1818 , and from avenging H3467 myself with mine own hand H3027 CFS-1MS .
For in very deed H199 W-CONJ , [ as ] the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 liveth H2416 AMS , which H834 RPRO hath kept me back H4513 from hurting H7489 thee , except H3884 thou hadst hasted H4116 and come H935 to meet H7125 me , surely H3588 CONJ there had not H518 PART been left H3498 unto Nabal H5037 by H5704 PREP the morning H1242 light H216 NMS any that pisseth H8366 against the wall H7023 .
So David H1732 MMS received H3947 W-VQY3MS of her hand H3027 [ that ] which H834 RPRO she had brought H935 him , and said H559 VQQ3MS unto her , Go up H5927 in peace H7965 to thine house H1004 ; see H7200 , I have hearkened H8085 VQQ1MS to thy voice H6963 , and have accepted H5375 thy person H6440 .
And Abigail H26 came H935 W-VQY3FS to H413 PREP Nabal H5037 ; and , behold H2009 IJEC , he held a feast H4960 NMS in his house H1004 B-CMS-3MS , like the feast H4960 of a king H4428 D-NMS ; and Nabal H5037 \'s heart H3820 W-CMS [ was ] merry H2896 AMS within H5921 PREP-3MS him , for he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS [ was ] very H5704 PREP drunken H7910 : wherefore she told H5046 him nothing H3808 W-NPAR , less H6996 AMS or more H1419 W-AMS , until H5704 PREP the morning H1242 light H216 NMS .
But it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the morning H1242 , when the wine H3196 D-NMS was gone out H3318 of Nabal H5037 , and his wife H802 CFS-3MS had told H5046 him these H428 D-DPRO-3MP things H1697 AMP , that his heart H3820 CMS-3MS died H4191 W-VQY3MS within H7130 him , and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS became H1961 VQQ3MS [ as ] a stone H68 .
And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS about ten H6235 days H3117 D-NMP [ after ] , that the LORD H3068 EDS smote H5062 Nabal H5037 , that he died H4191 W-VQY3MS .
And when David H1732 MMS heard H8085 that H3588 CONJ Nabal H5037 was dead H4191 , he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Blessed H1288 VWQ3MS [ be ] the LORD H3068 EDS , that H834 RPRO hath pleaded H7378 the cause H7379 NMS of my reproach H2781 from the hand H3027 M-GFS of Nabal H5037 , and hath kept H2820 his servant H5650 from evil H7451 : for the LORD H3068 EDS hath returned H7725 VHQ3MS the wickedness H7451 CFS of Nabal H5037 upon his own head H7218 . And David H1732 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS and communed H1696 W-VPY3MS with Abigail H26 , to take H3947 her to him to wife H802 .
And when the servants H5650 of David H1732 were come H935 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP Abigail H26 to Carmel H3760 , they spoke H1696 W-VPY3MP unto H413 PREP her , saying H559 L-VQFC , David H1732 MMS sent H7971 us unto H413 PREP thee , to take H3947 thee to him to wife H802 .
And she arose H6965 , and bowed herself H7812 on [ her ] face H639 NMD to the earth H776 NFS-3FS , and said H559 W-VQY3FS , Behold H2009 IJEC , [ let ] thine handmaid H519 [ be ] a servant H8198 to wash H7364 the feet H7272 of the servants H5650 of my lord H113 .
And Abigail H26 hasted H4116 , and arose H6965 , and rode H7392 upon H5921 PREP an ass H2543 , with five H2568 damsels H5291 CFP-3FS of hers that went H1980 after H7272 her ; and she went H1980 W-VQQ3FS after H310 PREP the messengers H4397 of David H1732 , and became H1961 W-VQY3FS his wife H802 .
But Saul H7586 had given H5414 VQQ3MS Michal H4324 his daughter H1323 , David H1732 MMS \'s wife H802 CFS , to Phalti H6406 the son H1121 CMS of Laish H3919 , which H834 RPRO [ was ] of Gallim H1554 .
