Nabal{H5037} is his name{H8034}, and folly{H5039} is with him: but I thine handmaid{H519} saw{H7200}{(H8804)} not the young men{H5288} of my lord{H113}, whom thou didst send{H7971}{(H8804)}. 26 Now therefore, my lord{H113}, as the LORD{H3068} liveth{H2416}, and as thy soul{H5315} liveth{H2416}, seeing the LORD{H3068} hath withholden{H4513}{(H8804)} thee from coming{H935}{(H8800)} to shed blood{H1818}, and from avenging{H3467}{(H8687)} thyself with thine own hand{H3027}, now let thine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}, and they that seek{H1245}{(H8764)} evil{H7451} to my lord{H113}, be as Nabal{H5037}. 27 And now this blessing{H1293} which thine handmaid{H8198} hath brought{H935}{(H8689)} unto my lord{H113}, let it even be given{H5414}{(H8738)} unto the young men{H5288} that follow{H1980}{(H8693)}{H7272} my lord{H113}. 28 I pray thee, forgive{H5375}{(H8798)} the trespass{H6588} of thine handmaid{H519}: for the LORD{H3068} will certainly{H6213}{(H8800)} make{H6213}{(H8799)} my lord{H113} a sure{H539}{(H8737)} house{H1004};

and the souls{H5315} of thine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}, them shall he sling out{H7049}{(H8762)}, as out of the middle{H8432}{H3709} of a sling{H7050}. 30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD{H3068} shall have done{H6213}{(H8799)} to my lord{H113} according to all the good{H2896} that he hath spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} concerning thee, and shall have appointed{H6680}{(H8765)} thee ruler{H5057} over Israel{H3478}; 31 That this shall be no grief{H6330} unto thee, nor offence{H4383} of heart{H3820} unto my lord{H113}, either that thou hast shed{H8210}{(H8800)} blood{H1818} causeless{H2600}, or that my lord{H113} hath avenged{H3467}{(H8687)} himself: but when the LORD{H3068} shall have dealt well{H3190}{(H8689)} with my lord{H113}, then remember{H2142}{(H8804)} thine handmaid{H519}. 32 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} to Abigail{H26}, Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, which sent{H7971}{(H8804)} thee this day{H3117} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} me: 33 And blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be thy advice{H2940}, and blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be thou, which hast kept{H3607}{(H8804)} me this day{H3117} from coming{H935}{(H8800)} to shed blood{H1818}, and from avenging{H3467}{(H8687)} myself with mine own hand{H3027}. 34 For in very deed{H199}, as the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} liveth{H2416}, which hath kept me back{H4513}{(H8804)} from hurting{H7489}{(H8687)} thee, except{H3884} thou hadst hasted{H4116}{(H8765)} and come{H935}{(H8799)} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} me, surely there had not been left{H3498}{(H8738)} unto Nabal{H5037} by the morning{H1242} light{H216} any that pisseth{H8366}{(H8688)} against the wall{H7023}. 35 So David{H1732} received{H3947}{(H8799)} of her hand{H3027} that which she had brought{H935}{(H8689)} him, and said{H559}{(H8804)} unto her, Go up{H5927}{(H8798)} in peace{H7965} to thine house{H1004}; see{H7200}{(H8798)}, I have hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} to thy voice{H6963}, and have accepted{H5375}{(H8799)} thy person{H6440}.
