strkjv@1Samuel:25:15
@ But the
men
were
very
good
unto us, and we were not
hurt
, neither
missed
we any
thing
, as long
as
we were
conversant
with them, when we were in the
fields
:
strkjv@1Samuel:25:16
@ They were a

unto us both by
night

day

while
we were with them
keeping
the
sheep

@ Now therefore
know
and
consider
what thou wilt
do
; for
evil
is
determined
against our
master
, and against all his
household
: for he is such a
son
of
Belial
b@, that a man cannot
speak
to him.
strkjv@1Samuel:25:18
@ Then
Abigail
made
haste
, and
took
two
hundred
loaves

bottles
of
wine

five
sheep
ready
dressed
, and
five
measures
of
parched
corn, and an
hundred
clusters of
raisins

hundred
cakes
of figs, and
laid
them on
asses

strkjv@1Samuel:25:19
@ And she
said
unto her
servants

on
before
me; behold, I
come
after
you. But she
told
not her
husband
Nabal

strkjv@1Samuel:25:20
@ And it was so, as she
rode
on the
ass

down
by the
covert
of the
hill
, and, behold,
David
and his
men
came
down
against
her; and she
met
them.
strkjv@1Samuel:25:21
@ Now
David
had
said
, Surely in
vain
have I
kept
all that
this
fellow hath in the
wilderness
, so that
nothing
was
missed
of all that pertained unto him: and he hath
requited
me
evil
for
good

unto the

pisseth

hasted

off

bowed
herself to the
ground

strkjv@1Samuel:25:24

fell
at his

hear
the
words
of thine

strkjv@1Samuel:25:25
@
Let
not my

regard
this
man

Nabal

name
is, so is he;
Nabal
is his
name
, and
folly
is with him: but I thine
handmaid
saw
not the young
men
of my
lord
, whom thou didst
send
.
strkjv@1Samuel:25:26
@ Now therefore, my
lord
, as the
LORD
liveth
, and as thy
soul
liveth

LORD
hath
withholden
thee from
coming
to shed
blood

avenging
thyself with thine own

seek
evil

strkjv@1Samuel:25:28
@ I pray thee,
forgive
the
trespass

certainly
make
my

the
battles

evil
hath not been

in thee all thy

strkjv@1Samuel:25:29
@ Yet a
man
is
risen

pursue
thee, and to

bound
in the

life
with the

thy
God

out

himself: but when the

well

strkjv@1Samuel:25:34
@ For in very
deed

liveth

morning
light

@ So
David
received

up

hearkened

strkjv@1Samuel:25:36
@ And
Abigail
came
to
Nabal
; and, behold, he held a
feast
in his
house

feast
of a
king

Nabals
heart
was
merry
within him, for he was
very
drunken
: wherefore she
told
him
nothing

less

more

morning
light

morning

within
him, and he became as a
