Nabal and Abigail

2 ¶ Now [there was] a man° in aMaon° whose business° was in bCarmel°; and the man° was very° Irich°, and he had three° thousand° sheep° and a thousand° goats°. And it came° about while che was shearing° his sheep° in Carmel° 3 (now the man’s° name° was Nabal°, and his awife’s° name° was Abigail°. And the woman° was Iintelligent°° and beautiful° in appearance°, but the man° was harsh° and evil° in [his] dealings°, and he was ba Calebite°), 4 that David° heard° in the wilderness° that Nabal° was shearing° his sheep°. 5 So David° sent° ten° young° men°; and David° said° to the young° men°, “Go° up to Carmel°, Ivisit°° Nabal° and greet°° him in my name°; 6 and thus° you shall say°, ‘IHave a long life°, apeace° be to you, and peace° be to your house°, and peace° be to all° that you have. 7 Now° I have heard° athat you have shearers°; now° your shepherds° have been° with us and we have not insulted° them, bnor° have they missed° anything° all° the days° they were in Carmel°. 8 Ask° your young° men° and they will tell° you. Therefore let [my] young° men° find° favor° in your eyes°, for we have come° on aa Ifestive° day°. Please° give° whatever° you find° at hand° to your servants° and to your son° David°.’”

9 ¶ When David’s° young° men° came°, they spoke° to Nabal° according to all° these° words° in David’s° name°; then they waited°. 10 But Nabal° answered° David’s° servants° and said°, “aWho° is David°?

There are many° servants° today° who are each° breaking° away° from his master°. 11 Shall I then atake° my bread° and my water° and my meat° that I have slaughtered° for my shearers°, and give° it to men° Iwhose° origin°°° I do not know°?” 12 So David’s° young° men° retraced° their way° and went° back°; and they came° and told° him according to all° these° words°. 13 David° said° to his men°, “Each° [of you] gird° on his sword°.” So each° man° girded° on his sword°.

David in Paran sendeth to Nabal.

2 And [there was] a manº in Maon,º whose possessionsº [were] in Carmel;º and the manº [was] veryº great,º and he had threeº thousandº sheep,º and a thousandº goats:º and he was² shearingºª² his sheepº in Carmel.º 3 Now the nameº of the manº [was] Nabal;º and the nameº of his wifeº Abigail:º and [she was] a womanº of goodº understanding,º and of a beautifulº countenance:º but the manº [was] churlishº and evilº in his doings;º and he² [was] of the house of Caleb.¹²

pacifieth David.

32 ¶ And Davidº saidºª to Abigail,º Blessedºª [be] the LORDº Godº of Israel,º which² sentºª thee this² dayº to meetºª me: 33 And blessedºª [be] thy advice,º and blessedºª [be] thou,² which² hast keptºª me this² dayº from comingºª² to [shed] blood,º and from avengingºª myself with mine own hand.º 34 For in very deed,º [as] the LORDº Godº of Israelº liveth,º which² hath kept me backºª from hurtingºª² thee, exceptº² thou hadst hastedºª and comeºª to meetºª me, surely² there had not² been leftºª unto Nabalº by² the morningº lightº any that pissethºª against the wall.º 35 So Davidº receivedºª of her handº²² [that] which² she had broughtºª him, and saidºª unto her, Go upºª in peaceº to thine house;º see,ºª I have hearkenedºª to thy voice,º and have acceptedºª thy person.º

Nabal hearing thereof dieth.

36 ¶ And Abigailº cameºª to² Nabal;º and, behold,² he held a feastº in his house,º like the feastº of a king;º and Nabal'sº heartº [was] merryº within² him, for he² [was] veryº² drunken:º wherefore she toldºª him nothing,º² lessº or more,º until² the morningº light.º 37 But it came to pass² in the morning,º when the wineº was gone outºª of Nabal,º² and his wifeº had toldºª him² these² things,º that his heartº diedºª withinº him, and he² became² [as] a stone.º 38 And it came to pass² about tenº daysº [after], that the LORDº smoteºª² Nabal,º that he died.ºª

David taketh Abigail and Ahinoam to be his wives.

39 ¶ And when Davidº heardºª that² Nabalº was dead,ºª he said,ºª Blessedºª [be] the LORD,º that² hath pleadedºª² the causeº of my reproachº from the handº² of Nabal,º and hath keptºª his servantº from evil:º² for the LORDº hath returnedºª the wickednessº of Nabalº upon his own head.º And Davidº sentºª and communedºª with Abigail,º to takeºª her to him to wife.º 40 And when the servantsº of Davidº were comeºª to² Abigailº to Carmel,º they spakeºª unto² her, saying,ºª Davidº sentºª us unto² thee, to takeºª thee to him to wife.º 41 And she arose,ºª and bowed¹ª herself² on [her] faceº to the earth,º and said,ºª Behold,² [let] thine handmaidº [be] a servantº to washºª the feetº of the servantsº of my lord.º 42 And Abigailº hasted,ºª and arose,ºª and rodeºª upon² an ass,º with fiveº damselsº of hers that wentºª afterº her; and she went¹ª² afterº the messengersº of David,º and became² his wife.º 43 Davidº also tookºª Ahinoamº of Jezreel;º² and they were² also² bothº of them his wives.º
