1 Samuel 25

KJV

1  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ died;⁴¹⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the Israelites³⁴⁷⁸ were gathered together,⁶⁹⁰⁸ and lamented⁵⁵⁹⁴ him, and buried⁶⁹¹² him in his house¹⁰⁰⁴ at Ramah.⁷⁴¹⁴ And David¹⁷³² arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went down³³⁸¹ to⁴¹³ the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Paran.⁶²⁹⁰

2  And there was a man³⁷⁶ in Maon,⁴⁵⁸⁴ whose possessions⁴⁶³⁹ were in Carmel;³⁷⁶⁰ and the man³⁷⁶ was very³⁹⁶⁶ great,¹⁴¹⁹ and he had three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ and a thousand⁵⁰⁵ goats:⁵⁷⁹⁵ and he was¹⁹⁶¹ shearing^{1494 853} his sheep⁶⁶²⁹ in Carmel.³⁷⁶⁰

3  Now the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the man³⁷⁶ was Nabal;⁵⁰³⁷ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of his wife⁸⁰² Abigail:²⁶ and she was a woman⁸⁰² of good²⁸⁹⁶ understanding,⁷⁹²² and of a beautiful³³⁰³ countenance:⁸³⁸⁹ but the man³⁷⁶ was churlish⁷¹⁸⁶ and evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in his doings;⁴⁶¹¹ and he¹⁹³¹ was of the house of Caleb.³⁶¹²

4  And David¹⁷³² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ that³⁵⁸⁸ Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ did shear^{1494 853} his sheep.⁶⁶²⁹

5  And David¹⁷³² sent out⁷⁹⁷¹ ten⁶²³⁵ young men,⁵²⁸⁸ and David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the young men,⁵²⁸⁸ Get you up⁵⁹²⁷ to Carmel,³⁷⁶⁰ and go⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Nabal,⁵⁰³⁷ and greet^{7592 7965} him in my name:⁸⁰³⁴

6  And thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye say⁵⁵⁹ to him that liveth²⁴¹⁶ in prosperity, Peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ be both to thee,⁸⁵⁹ and peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ be to thine house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ be unto all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ thou hast.

7  And now⁶²⁵⁸ I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast shearers:¹⁴⁹⁴ now⁶²⁵⁸ thy shepherds⁷⁴⁶² which⁸³⁴ were¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ us, we hurt³⁶³⁷ them not,³⁸⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ was there aught³⁹⁷² missing⁶⁴⁸⁵ unto them, all³⁶⁰⁵ the while³¹¹⁷ they were¹⁹⁶¹ in Carmel.³⁷⁶⁰

8  Ask^{7592 853} thy young men,⁵²⁸⁸ and they will show⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee. Wherefore let the young men⁵²⁸⁸ find⁴⁶⁷² favor²⁵⁸⁰ in thine eyes:⁵⁸⁶⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ we come⁹³⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ a good²⁸⁹⁶ day:³¹¹⁷ give,⁵⁴¹⁴ I pray thee,^{4994 853} whatsoever⁸³⁴ cometh⁴⁶⁷² to thine hand³⁰²⁷ unto thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and to thy son¹¹²¹ David.¹⁷³²

9  And when David's¹⁷³² young men⁵²⁸⁸ came,⁹³⁵ they spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ those⁴²⁸ words¹⁶⁹⁷ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of David,¹⁷³² and ceased.⁵¹¹⁷

10  And Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ answered^{6030 853} David's¹⁷³² servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Who⁴³¹⁰ is David?¹⁷³² and who⁴³¹⁰ is the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse?³⁴⁴⁸ there be many⁷²³¹ servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ now a days³¹¹⁷ that break away⁶⁵⁵⁵ every man³⁷⁶ from^{4480 6440} his master.¹¹³

11  Shall I then take^{3947 853} my bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and my water,⁴³²⁵ and my flesh²⁸⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ I have killed²⁸⁷³ for my shearers,¹⁴⁹⁴ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto men,³⁷⁶ whom⁸³⁴ I know³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ whence^{335 4480 2088} they¹⁹⁹² be?

12  So David's¹⁷³² young men⁵²⁸⁸ turned²⁰¹⁵ their way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and went again,⁷⁷²⁵ and came⁹³⁵ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him all³⁶⁰⁵ those⁴²⁸ sayings.¹⁶⁹⁷

13  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto his men,³⁷⁶ Gird ye on²²⁹⁶ every man^{376 853} his sword.²⁷¹⁹ And they girded on²²⁹⁶ every man^{376 853} his sword;²⁷¹⁹ and David¹⁷³² also¹⁵⁷¹ girded on^{2296 853} his sword:²⁷¹⁹ and there went up⁵⁹²⁷ after³¹⁰ David¹⁷³² about four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men;³⁷⁶ and two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ abode³⁴²⁷ by⁵⁹²¹ the stuff.³⁶²⁷

14  But one^{259 5288} of the young men^{4480 5288} told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Abigail,²⁶ Nabal's⁵⁰³⁷ wife,⁸⁰² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ out of the wilderness^{4480 4057} to salute^{1288 853} our master;¹¹³ and he railed⁵⁸⁶⁰ on them.

15  But the men³⁷⁶ were very³⁹⁶⁶ good²⁸⁹⁶ unto us, and we were not³⁸⁰⁸ hurt,³⁶³⁷ neither³⁸⁰⁸ missed⁶⁴⁸⁵ we any thing,³⁹⁷² as long as^{3605 3117} we were conversant¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ them, when we were¹⁹⁶¹ in the fields:⁷⁷⁰⁴

16  They were¹⁹⁶¹ a wall²³⁴⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ us both¹⁵⁷¹ by night³⁹¹⁵ and¹⁵⁷¹ day,³¹¹⁹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the while³¹¹⁷ we were¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ them keeping⁷⁴⁶² the sheep.⁶⁶²⁹

17  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore know³⁰⁴⁵ and consider⁷²⁰⁰ what⁴¹⁰⁰ thou wilt do;⁶²¹³ for³⁵⁸⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ is determined³⁶¹⁵ against⁴¹³ our master,¹¹³ and against⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ his household:¹⁰⁰⁴ for he¹⁹³¹ is such a son¹¹²¹ of Belial,¹¹⁰⁰ that a man cannot speak^{4480 1696} to⁴¹³ him.

18  Then Abigail²⁶ made haste,⁴¹¹⁶ and took³⁹⁴⁷ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ loaves,³⁸⁹⁹ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ bottles⁵⁰³⁵ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ and five²⁵⁶⁸ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ ready dressed,⁶²¹³ and five²⁵⁶⁸ measures⁵⁴²⁹ of parched⁷⁰³⁹ corn, and a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ clusters of raisins,⁶⁷⁷⁸ and two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ cakes of figs,¹⁶⁹⁰ and laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ them on⁵⁹²¹ asses.²⁵⁴³

19  And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto her servants,⁵²⁸⁸ Go on⁵⁶⁷⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me; behold,²⁰⁰⁵ I come⁹³⁵ after³¹⁰ you. But she told⁵⁰⁴⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ her husband³⁷⁶ Nabal.⁵⁰³⁷

20  And it was¹⁹⁶¹ so, as she¹⁹³¹ rode⁷³⁹² on⁵⁹²¹ the ass,²⁵⁴³ that she came down³³⁸¹ by the covert⁵⁶⁴³ of the hill,²⁰²² and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ David¹⁷³² and his men³⁷⁶ came down³³⁸¹ against⁷¹²⁵ her; and she met⁶²⁹⁸ them.

21  Now David¹⁷³² had said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely³⁸⁹ in vain⁸²⁶⁷ have I kept^{8104 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ fellow hath in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ so that nothing^{3808 3972} was missed⁶⁴⁸⁵ of all^{4480 3605} that⁸³⁴ pertained unto him: and he hath requited⁷⁷²⁵ me evil⁷⁴⁵¹ for⁸⁴⁷⁸ good.²⁸⁹⁶

22  So³⁵⁴¹ and more³²⁵⁴ also³⁵⁴¹ do⁶²¹³ God⁴³⁰ unto the enemies³⁴¹ of David,¹⁷³² if⁵¹⁸ I leave⁷⁶⁰⁴ of all^{4480 3605} that⁸³⁴ pertain to him by⁵⁷⁰⁴ the morning light¹²⁴² any that pisseth⁸³⁶⁶ against the wall.⁷⁰²³

23  And when Abigail²⁶ saw^{7200 853} David,¹⁷³² she hasted,⁴¹¹⁶ and lighted³³⁸¹ off^{4480 5921} the ass,²⁵⁴³ and fell⁵³⁰⁷ before⁶³⁹ David¹⁷³² on⁵⁹²¹ her face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and bowed herself⁷⁸¹² to the ground,⁷⁷⁶

24  And fell⁵³⁰⁷ at⁵⁹²¹ his feet,⁷²⁷² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Upon me,⁵⁸⁹ my lord,¹¹³ upon me let this iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ be: and let thine handmaid,⁵¹⁹ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ in thine audience,²⁴¹ and hear^{8085 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of thine handmaid.⁵¹⁹

25  Let not⁴⁰⁸ my lord,¹¹³ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ regard^{7760 853 3820 413} this²⁰⁸⁸ man³⁷⁶ of Belial,¹¹⁰⁰ even Nabal:⁵⁰³⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ as his name⁸⁰³⁴ is, so³⁶⁵¹ is he;¹⁹³¹ Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ is his name,⁸⁰³⁴ and folly⁵⁰³⁹ is with⁵⁹⁷³ him: but I⁵⁸⁹ thine handmaid⁵¹⁹ saw⁷²⁰⁰ not^{3808 853} the young men⁵²⁸⁸ of my lord,¹¹³ whom⁸³⁴ thou didst send.⁷⁹⁷¹

26  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, my lord,¹¹³ as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ and as thy soul⁵³¹⁵ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ seeing⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath withheld⁴⁵¹³ thee from coming^{4480 935} to shed blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and from avenging³⁴⁶⁷ thyself with thine own hand,³⁰²⁷ now⁶²⁵⁸ let thine enemies,³⁴¹ and they that seek¹²⁴⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ to⁴¹³ my lord,¹¹³ be¹⁹⁶¹ as Nabal.⁵⁰³⁷

27  And now⁶²⁵⁸ this²⁰⁶³ blessing¹²⁹³ which⁸³⁴ thine handmaid⁸¹⁹⁸ hath brought⁹³⁵ unto my lord,¹¹³ let it even be given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the young men⁵²⁸⁸ that follow^{1980 7272} my lord.¹¹³

28  I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ forgive⁵³⁷⁵ the trespass⁶⁵⁸⁸ of thine handmaid:⁵¹⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will certainly make^{6213 6213} my lord¹¹³ a sure⁵³⁹ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ my lord¹¹³ fighteth³⁸⁹⁸ the battles⁴⁴²¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and evil⁷⁴⁵¹ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ been found⁴⁶⁷² in thee all thy days.^{4480 3117}

29  Yet a man¹²⁰ is risen⁶⁹⁶⁵ to pursue⁷²⁹¹ thee, and to seek^{1245 853} thy soul:⁵³¹⁵ but the soul⁵³¹⁵ of my lord¹¹³ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ bound⁶⁸⁸⁷ in the bundle⁶⁸⁷² of life²⁴¹⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God;⁴³⁰ and the souls⁵³¹⁵ of thine enemies,³⁴¹ them shall he sling out,⁷⁰⁴⁹ as out of the middle⁸⁴³² of a sling.⁷⁰⁵⁰

30  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall have done⁶²¹³ to my lord¹¹³ according to all^{3605 853} the good²⁸⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ he hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ thee, and shall have appointed⁶⁶⁸⁰ thee ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸

31  That this²⁰⁶³ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ grief⁶³³⁰ unto thee, nor offense⁴³⁸³ of heart³⁸²⁰ unto my lord,¹¹³ either that thou hast shed⁸²¹⁰ blood¹⁸¹⁸ causeless,²⁶⁰⁰ or that my lord¹¹³ hath avenged³⁴⁶⁷ himself: but when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall have dealt well³¹⁹⁰ with my lord,¹¹³ then remember^{2142 853} thine handmaid.⁵¹⁹

32  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ to Abigail,²⁶ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ thee this²⁰⁸⁸ day³¹¹⁷ to meet⁷¹²⁵ me:

33  And blessed¹²⁸⁸ be thy advice,²⁹⁴⁰ and blessed¹²⁸⁸ be thou,⁸⁵⁹ which⁸³⁴ hast kept³⁶⁰⁷ me this²⁰⁸⁸ day³¹¹⁷ from coming^{4480 935} to shed blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and from avenging³⁴⁶⁷ myself with mine own hand.³⁰²⁷

34  For in very deed,¹⁹⁹ as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ which⁸³⁴ hath kept me back⁴⁵¹³ from hurting^{4480 7489} thee, except^{3588 3884} thou hadst hasted⁴¹¹⁶ and come⁹³⁵ to meet⁷¹²⁵ me, surely³⁵⁸⁸ there had not⁵¹⁸ been left³⁴⁹⁸ unto Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ by⁵⁷⁰⁴ the morning¹²⁴² light²¹⁶ any that pisseth⁸³⁶⁶ against the wall.⁷⁰²³

35  So David¹⁷³² received³⁹⁴⁷ of her hand^{4480 3027 853} that which⁸³⁴ she had brought⁹³⁵ him, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Go up⁵⁹²⁷ in peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ to thine house;¹⁰⁰⁴ see,⁷²⁰⁰ I have hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ to thy voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and have accepted⁵³⁷⁵ thy person.⁶⁴⁴⁰

36  And Abigail²⁶ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Nabal;⁵⁰³⁷ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he held a feast⁴⁹⁶⁰ in his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ like the feast⁴⁹⁶⁰ of a king;⁴⁴²⁸ and Nabal's⁵⁰³⁷ heart³⁸²⁰ was merry²⁸⁹⁶ within⁵⁹²¹ him, for he¹⁹³¹ was very^{5704 3966} drunken:⁷⁹¹⁰ wherefore she told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him nothing,^{3808 1697} less⁶⁹⁹⁶ or more,¹⁴¹⁹ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the morning¹²⁴² light.²¹⁶

37  But it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the morning,¹²⁴² when the wine³¹⁹⁶ was gone out³³¹⁸ of Nabal,^{4480 5037} and his wife⁸⁰² had told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him ⁸⁵³ these⁴²⁸ things,¹⁶⁹⁷ that his heart³⁸²⁰ died⁴¹⁹¹ within⁷¹³⁰ him, and he¹⁹³¹ became¹⁹⁶¹ as a stone.⁶⁸

38  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ about ten⁶²³⁵ days³¹¹⁷ after, that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smote^{5062 853} Nabal,⁵⁰³⁷ that he died.⁴¹⁹¹

39  And when David¹⁷³² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ he said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ hath pleaded^{7378 853} the cause⁷³⁷⁹ of my reproach²⁷⁸¹ from the hand^{4480 3027} of Nabal,⁵⁰³⁷ and hath kept²⁸²⁰ his servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ from evil:^{4480 7451} for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath returned⁷⁷²⁵ the wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ of Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ upon his own head.⁷²¹⁸ And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with Abigail,²⁶ to take³⁹⁴⁷ her to him to wife.⁸⁰²

40  And when the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of David¹⁷³² were come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Abigail²⁶ to Carmel,³⁷⁶⁰ they spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ her, saying,⁵⁵⁹ David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ us unto⁴¹³ thee, to take³⁹⁴⁷ thee to him to wife.⁸⁰²

41  And she arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and bowed herself⁷⁸¹² on her face⁶³⁹ to the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ let thine handmaid⁵¹⁹ be a servant⁸¹⁹⁸ to wash⁷³⁶⁴ the feet⁷²⁷² of the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of my lord.¹¹³

42  And Abigail²⁶ hasted,⁴¹¹⁶ and arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and rode⁷³⁹² upon⁵⁹²¹ an ass,²⁵⁴³ with five²⁵⁶⁸ damsels⁵²⁹¹ of hers that went¹⁹⁸⁰ after⁷²⁷² her; and she went¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ the messengers⁴³⁹⁷ of David,¹⁷³² and became¹⁹⁶¹ his wife.⁸⁰²

43  David¹⁷³² also took³⁹⁴⁷ Ahinoam²⁹³ of Jezreel;^{4480 3157} and they were¹⁹⁶¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ both⁸¹⁴⁷ of them his wives.⁸⁰²

44  But Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ had given^{5414 853} Michal⁴³²⁴ his daughter,¹³²³ David's¹⁷³² wife,⁸⁰² to Phalti⁶⁴⁰⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Laish,³⁹¹⁹ which⁸³⁴ was of Gallim.^{4480 1554}

1 καὶ ἀπέθανεν Σαμουηλ καὶ συναθροίζονται πᾶς Ισραηλ καὶ κόπτονται αὐτὸν καὶ θάπτουσιν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν Αρμαθαιμ καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυιδ καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Μααν

2 καὶ ἦν ἄνθρωπος ἐν τῇ Μααν καὶ τὰ ποίμνια αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος μέγας σφόδρα καὶ τούτῳ ποίμνια τρισχίλια καὶ αἶγες χίλιαι καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ κείρειν τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ

3 καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ Ναβαλ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ Αβιγαια καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὴ συνέσει καὶ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος σκληρὸς καὶ πονηρὸς ἐν ἐπιτηδεύμασιν καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος κυνικός

4 καὶ ἤκουσεν Δαυιδ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ὅτι κείρει Ναβαλ ὁ Καρμήλιος τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ

5 καὶ Δαυιδ ἀπέστειλεν δέκα παιδάρια καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παιδαρίοις ἀνάβητε εἰς Κάρμηλον καὶ ἀπέλθατε πρὸς Ναβαλ καὶ ἐρωτήσατε αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου εἰς εἰρήνην

6 καὶ ἐρεῖτε τάδε εἰς ὥρας καὶ σὺ ὑγιαίνων καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ πάντα τὰ σὰ ὑγιαίνοντα

7 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἀκήκοα ὅτι κείρουσίν σοι νῦν οἱ ποιμένες σου οἳ ἦσαν μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκωλύσαμεν αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμεθα αὐτοῖς οὐθὲν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὄντων αὐτῶν ἐν Καρμήλῳ

8 ἐρώτησον τὰ παιδάριά σου καὶ ἀπαγγελοῦσίν σοι καὶ εὑρέτωσαν τὰ παιδάρια χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ὅτι ἐφ᾽ ἡμέραν ἀγαθὴν ἥκομεν δὸς δὴ ὃ ἐὰν εὕρῃ ἡ χείρ σου τῷ υἱῷ σου τῷ Δαυιδ

9 καὶ ἔρχονται τὰ παιδάρια καὶ λαλοῦσιν τοὺς λόγους τούτους πρὸς Ναβαλ κατὰ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Δαυιδ καὶ ἀνεπήδησεν

10 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ναβαλ τοῖς παισὶν Δαυιδ καὶ εἶπεν τίς ὁ Δαυιδ καὶ τίς ὁ υἱὸς Ιεσσαι σήμερον πεπληθυμμένοι εἰσὶν οἱ δοῦλοι ἀναχωροῦντες ἕκαστος ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ

11 καὶ λήμψομαι τοὺς ἄρτους μου καὶ τὸν οἶνόν μου καὶ τὰ θύματά μου ἃ τέθυκα τοῖς κείρουσίν μου τὰ πρόβατα καὶ δώσω αὐτὰ ἀνδράσιν οἷς οὐκ οἶδα πόθεν εἰσίν

12 καὶ ἀπεστράφησαν τὰ παιδάρια Δαυιδ εἰς ὁδὸν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν καὶ ἦλθον καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυιδ κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα

13 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν αὐτοῦ ζώσασθε ἕκαστος τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβησαν ὀπίσω Δαυιδ ὡς τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες καὶ οἱ διακόσιοι ἐκάθισαν μετὰ τῶν σκευῶν

14 καὶ τῇ Αβιγαια γυναικὶ Ναβαλ ἀπήγγειλεν ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων λέγων ἰδοὺ Δαυιδ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου εὐλογῆσαι τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν καὶ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν

15 καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαθοὶ ἡμῖν σφόδρα οὐκ ἀπεκώλυσαν ἡμᾶς οὐδὲ ἐνετείλαντο ἡμῖν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἃς ἦμεν παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐν τῷ εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἐν ἀγρῷ

16 ὡς τεῖχος ἦσαν περὶ ἡμᾶς καὶ τὴν νύκτα καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἃς ἤμεθα παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς ποιμαίνοντες τὸ ποίμνιον

17 καὶ νῦν γνῶθι καὶ ἰδὲ τί σὺ ποιήσεις ὅτι συντετέλεσται ἡ κακία εἰς τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ οὗτος υἱὸς λοιμός καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν λαλῆσαι πρὸς αὐτόν

18 καὶ ἔσπευσεν Αβιγαια καὶ ἔλαβεν διακοσίους ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἀγγεῖα οἴνου καὶ πέντε πρόβατα πεποιημένα καὶ πέντε οιφι ἀλφίτου καὶ γομορ ἓν σταφίδος καὶ διακοσίας παλάθας καὶ ἔθετο ἐπὶ τοὺς ὄνους

19 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτῆς προπορεύεσθε ἔμπροσθέν μου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὀπίσω ὑμῶν παραγίνομαι καὶ τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν

20 καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῆς ἐπιβεβηκυίης ἐπὶ τὴν ὄνον καὶ καταβαινούσης ἐν σκέπῃ τοῦ ὄρους καὶ ἰδοὺ Δαυιδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ κατέβαινον εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπήντησεν αὐτοῖς

21 καὶ Δαυιδ εἶπεν ἴσως εἰς ἄδικον πεφύλακα πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμεθα λαβεῖν ἐκ πάντων τῶν αὐτοῦ οὐθέν καὶ ἀνταπέδωκέν μοι πονηρὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν

22 τάδε ποιήσαι ὁ θεὸς τῷ Δαυιδ καὶ τάδε προσθείη εἰ ὑπολείψομαι ἐκ πάντων τῶν τοῦ Ναβαλ ἕως πρωὶ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον

23 καὶ εἶδεν Αβιγαια τὸν Δαυιδ καὶ ἔσπευσεν καὶ κατεπήδησεν ἀπὸ τῆς ὄνου καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐνώπιον Δαυιδ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

24 ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ἐν ἐμοί κύριέ μου ἡ ἀδικία λαλησάτω δὴ ἡ δούλη σου εἰς τὰ ὦτά σου καὶ ἄκουσον τῆς δούλης σου λόγον

25 μὴ δὴ θέσθω ὁ κύριός μου καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν λοιμὸν τοῦτον ὅτι κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ οὕτως ἐστίν Ναβαλ ὄνομα αὐτῷ καὶ ἀφροσύνη μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγὼ ἡ δούλη σου οὐκ εἶδον τὰ παιδάριά σου ἃ ἀπέστειλας

26 καὶ νῦν κύριε ζῇ κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου καθὼς ἐκώλυσέν σε κύριος τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν εἰς αἷμα ἀθῷον καὶ σῴζειν τὴν χεῖρά σού σοι καὶ νῦν γένοιντο ὡς Ναβαλ οἱ ἐχθροί σου καὶ οἱ ζητοῦντες τῷ κυρίῳ μου κακά

27 καὶ νῦν λαβὲ τὴν εὐλογίαν ταύτην ἣν ἐνήνοχεν ἡ δούλη σου τῷ κυρίῳ μου καὶ δώσεις τοῖς παιδαρίοις τοῖς παρεστηκόσιν τῷ κυρίῳ μου

28 ἆρον δὴ τὸ ἀνόμημα τῆς δούλης σου ὅτι ποιῶν ποιήσει κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου οἶκον πιστόν ὅτι πόλεμον κυρίου ὁ κύριός μου πολεμεῖ καὶ κακία οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται ἐν σοὶ πώποτε

29 καὶ ἀναστήσεται ἄνθρωπος καταδιώκων σε καὶ ζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ κυρίου μου ἐνδεδεμένη ἐν δεσμῷ τῆς ζωῆς παρὰ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ καὶ ψυχὴν ἐχθρῶν σου σφενδονήσεις ἐν μέσῳ τῆς σφενδόνης

30 καὶ ἔσται ὅτι ποιήσει κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησεν ἀγαθὰ ἐπὶ σέ καὶ ἐντελεῖταί σοι κύριος εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ Ισραηλ

31 καὶ οὐκ ἔσται σοι τοῦτο βδελυγμὸς καὶ σκάνδαλον τῷ κυρίῳ μου ἐκχέαι αἷμα ἀθῷον δωρεὰν καὶ σῶσαι χεῖρα κυρίου μου αὐτῷ καὶ ἀγαθώσει κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου καὶ μνησθήσῃ τῆς δούλης σου ἀγαθῶσαι αὐτῇ

32 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ τῇ Αβιγαια εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ὃς ἀπέστειλέν σε σήμερον ἐν ταύτῃ εἰς ἀπάντησίν μου

33 καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ τρόπος σου καὶ εὐλογημένη σὺ ἡ ἀποκωλύσασά με σήμερον ἐν ταύτῃ μὴ ἐλθεῖν εἰς αἵματα καὶ σῶσαι χεῖρά μου ἐμοί

34 πλὴν ὅτι ζῇ κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ὃς ἀπεκώλυσέν με σήμερον τοῦ κακοποιῆσαί σε ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἔσπευσας καὶ παρεγένου εἰς ἀπάντησίν μοι τότε εἶπα εἰ ὑπολειφθήσεται τῷ Ναβαλ ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωὶ οὐρῶν πρὸς τοῖχον

35 καὶ ἔλαβεν Δαυιδ ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῆς πάντα ἃ ἔφερεν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἀνάβηθι εἰς εἰρήνην εἰς οἶκόν σου βλέπε ἤκουσα τῆς φωνῆς σου καὶ ᾑρέτισα τὸ πρόσωπόν σου

36 καὶ παρεγενήθη Αβιγαια πρὸς Ναβαλ καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτῷ πότος ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ὡς πότος βασιλέως καὶ ἡ καρδία Ναβαλ ἀγαθὴ ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν καὶ αὐτὸς μεθύων ἕως σφόδρα καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ ῥῆμα μικρὸν ἢ μέγα ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωί

37 καὶ ἐγένετο πρωί ὡς ἐξένηψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου Ναβαλ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα καὶ ἐναπέθανεν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ αὐτὸς γίνεται ὡς λίθος

38 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ δέκα ἡμέραι καὶ ἐπάταξεν κύριος τὸν Ναβαλ καὶ ἀπέθανεν

39 καὶ ἤκουσεν Δαυιδ καὶ εἶπεν εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὃς ἔκρινεν τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ ὀνειδισμοῦ μου ἐκ χειρὸς Ναβαλ καὶ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ περιεποιήσατο ἐκ χειρὸς κακῶν καὶ τὴν κακίαν Ναβαλ ἀπέστρεψεν κύριος εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυιδ καὶ ἐλάλησεν περὶ Αβιγαιας λαβεῖν αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα

40 καὶ ἦλθον οἱ παῖδες Δαυιδ πρὸς Αβιγαιαν εἰς Κάρμηλον καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῇ λέγοντες Δαυιδ ἀπέστειλεν ἡμᾶς πρὸς σὲ λαβεῖν σε αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα

41 καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ἡ δούλη σου εἰς παιδίσκην νίψαι πόδας τῶν παίδων σου

42 καὶ ἀνέστη Αβιγαια καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπὶ τὴν ὄνον καὶ πέντε κοράσια ἠκολούθουν αὐτῇ καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω τῶν παίδων Δαυιδ καὶ γίνεται αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα

43 καὶ τὴν Αχινααμ ἔλαβεν Δαυιδ ἐξ Ιεζραελ καὶ ἀμφότεραι ἦσαν αὐτῷ γυναῖκες

44 καὶ Σαουλ ἔδωκεν Μελχολ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα Δαυιδ τῷ Φαλτι υἱῷ Λαις τῷ ἐκ Ρομμα

Vul

1 Mortuus est autem Samuel, et congregatus est universus Israël, et planxerunt eum, et sepelierunt eum in domo sua in Ramatha. Consurgensque David descendit in desertum Pharan.

2 Erat autem vir quispiam in solitudine Maon, et possessio ejus in Carmelo, et homo ille magnus nimis: erantque ei oves tria millia, et mille capræ: et accidit ut tonderetur grex ejus in Carmelo.

3 Nomen autem viri illius erat Nabal. Et nomen uxoris ejus Abigail: eratque mulier illa prudentissima, et speciosa: porro vir ejus durus, et pessimus, et malitiosus: erat autem de genere Caleb.

4 Cum ergo audisset David in deserto quod tonderet Nabal gregem suum,

5 misit decem juvenes, et dixit eis: Ascendite in Carmelum, et venietis ad Nabal, et salutabitis eum ex nomine meo pacifice.

6 Et dicetis: Sit fratribus meis et tibi pax, et domui tuæ pax, et omnibus, quæcumque habes, sit pax.

7 Audivi quod tonderent pastores tui, qui erant nobiscum in deserto: numquam eis molesti fuimus, nec aliquando defuit quidquam eis de grege, omni tempore quo fuerunt nobiscum in Carmelo.

8 Interroga pueros tuos, et indicabunt tibi. Nunc ergo inveniant pueri tui gratiam in oculis tuis: in die enim bona venimus: quodcumque invenerit manus tua, da servis tuis, et filio tuo David.

9 Cumque venissent pueri David, locuti sunt ad Nabal omnia verba hæc ex nomine David: et siluerunt.

10 Respondens autem Nabal pueris David, ait: Quis est David? et quis est filius Isai? hodie increverunt servi qui fugiunt dominos suos.

11 Tollam ergo panes meos, et aquas meas, et carnes pecorum quæ occidi tonsoribus meis, et dabo viris quos nescio unde sint?

12 Regressi sunt itaque pueri David per viam suam, et reversi venerunt, et nuntiaverunt ei omnia verba quæ dixerat.

13 Tunc ait David pueris suis: Accingatur unusquisque gladio suo. Et accincti sunt singuli gladiis suis, accinctusque est et David ense suo: et secuti sunt David quasi quadringenti viri: porro ducenti remanserunt ad sarcinas.

14 Abigail autem uxori Nabal nuntiavit unus de pueris suis, dicens: Ecce David misit nuntios de deserto, ut benedicerent domino nostro: et aversatus est eos.

15 Homines isti boni satis fuerant nobis, et non molesti: nec quidquam aliquando periit omni tempore quo fuimus conversati cum eis in deserto:

16 pro muro erant nobis tam in nocte quam in die, omnibus diebus quibus pavimus apud eos greges.

17 Quam ob rem considera, et recogita quid facias: quoniam completa est malitia adversum virum tuum, et adversum domum tuam, et ipse est filius Belial, ita ut nemo possit ei loqui.

18 Festinavit igitur Abigail, et tulit ducentos panes, et duos utres vini, et quinque arietes coctos, et quinque sata polentæ, et centum ligaturas uvæ passæ, et ducentas massas caricarum, et posuit super asinos:

19 dixitque pueris suis: Præcedite me: ecce ego post tergum sequar vos: viro autem suo Nabal non indicavit.

20 Cum ergo ascendisset asinum, et descenderet ad radices montis, David et viri ejus descendebant in occursum ejus: quibus et illa occurrit.

21 Et ait David: Vere frustra servavi omnia quæ hujus erant in deserto, et non periit quidquam de cunctis quæ ad eum pertinebant: et reddidit mihi malum pro bono.

22 Hæc faciat Deus inimicis David, et hæc addat, si reliquero de omnibus quæ ad ipsum pertinent usque mane mingentem ad parietem.

23 Cum autem vidisset Abigail David, festinavit, et descendit de asino, et procidit coram David super faciem suam, et adoravit super terram,

24 et cecidit ad pedes ejus, et dixit: In me sit, domine mi, hæc iniquitas: loquatur, obsecro, ancilla tua in auribus tuis, et audi verba famulæ tuæ.

25 Ne ponat, oro, dominus meus rex cor suum super virum istum iniquum Nabal: quoniam secundum nomen suum stultus est, et stultitia est cum eo: ego autem ancilla tua non vidi pueros tuos, domine mi, quos misisti.

26 Nunc ergo, domine mi, vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, qui prohibuit te ne venires in sanguinem, et salvavit manum tuam tibi: et nunc fiant sicut Nabal inimici tui, et qui quærunt domino meo malum.

27 Quapropter suscipe benedictionem hanc, quam attulit ancilla tua tibi domino meo, et da pueris qui sequuntur te dominum meum.

28 Aufer iniquitatem famulæ tuæ: faciens enim faciet Dominus tibi domino meo domum fidelem, quia prælia Domini, domine mi, tu præliaris: malitia ergo non inveniatur in te omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.

29 Si enim surrexerit aliquando homo persequens te, et quærens animam tuam, erit anima domini mei custodita quasi in fasciculo viventium apud Dominum Deum tuum: porro inimicorum tuorum anima rotabitur, quasi in impetu et circulo fundæ.

30 Cum ergo fecerit Dominus tibi domino meo omnia quæ locutus est bona de te, et constituerit te ducem super Israël,

31 non erit tibi hoc in singultum, et in scrupulum cordis domino meo, quod effuderis sanguinem innoxium, aut ipse te ultus fueris: et cum benefecerit Dominus domino meo, recordaberis ancillæ tuæ.

32 Et ait David ad Abigail: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui misit hodie te in occursum meum, et benedictum eloquium tuum,

33 et benedicta tu, quæ prohibuisti me hodie ne irem ad sanguinem, et ulciscerer me manu mea.

34 Alioquin vivit Dominus Deus Israël, qui prohibuit me ne malum facerem tibi: nisi cito venisses in occursum mihi, non remansisset Nabal usque ad lucem matutinam mingens ad parietem.

35 Suscepit ergo David de manu ejus omnia quæ attulerat ei, dixitque ei: Vade pacifice in domum tuam: ecce audivi vocem tuam, et honoravi faciem tuam.

36 Venit autem Abigail ad Nabal: et ecce erat ei convivium in domo ejus quasi convivium regis, et cor Nabal jucundum: erat enim ebrius nimis: et non indicavit ei verbum pusillum aut grande usque mane.

37 Diluculo autem cum digessisset vinum Nabal, indicavit ei uxor sua verba hæc: et emortuum est cor ejus intrinsecus, et factus est quasi lapis.

38 Cumque pertransissent decem dies, percussit Dominus Nabal, et mortuus est.

39 Quod cum audisset David mortuum Nabal, ait: Benedictus Dominus, qui judicavit causam opprobrii mei de manu Nabal, et servum suum custodivit a malo, et malitiam Nabal reddidit Dominus in caput ejus. Misit ergo David, et locutus est ad Abigail, ut sumeret eam sibi in uxorem.

40 Et venerunt pueri David ad Abigail in Carmelum, et locuti sunt ad eam, dicentes: David misit nos ad te, ut accipiat te sibi in uxorem.

41 Quæ consurgens, adoravit prona in terram, et ait: Ecce famula tua sit in ancillam, ut lavet pedes servorum domini mei.

42 Et festinavit, et surrexit Abigail, et ascendit super asinum, et quinque puellæ ierunt cum ea, pedissequæ ejus, et secuta est nuntios David: et facta est illi uxor.

43 Sed et Achinoam accepit David de Jezraël: et fuit utraque uxor ejus.

44 Saul autem dedit Michol filiam suam, uxorem David, Phalti filio Lais, qui erat de Gallim.
