Read word by wordMeanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he screamed at them.
Read word by wordYet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them.
Read word by wordThey were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.
Read word by wordNow consider carefully what you must do, because disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that nobody can speak to him!”
Read word by wordThen Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys
Read word by wordAs Abigail came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and she met them.
Read word by wordMay God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one male belonging to Nabal survive until morning.”
Read word by wordWhen Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.
Read word by wordShe fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.
Read word by wordMy lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
Read word by wordNow, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, since the LORD has held you back from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, may your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be like Nabal.
Read word by wordNow let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow you.
Read word by wordAnd should someone pursue you and seek your life, then the life of my lord will be bound securely by the LORD your God in the bundle of the living. But He shall fling away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.
Read word by wordWhen the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel,
Read word by wordThen David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!
Read word by wordBlessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
Read word by wordOtherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, then surely no male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning light.”
Read word by wordWhen Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.
Read word by wordIn the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him, and he became like a stone.
Read word by wordAbout ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.

Read word by wordThen the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?”
Read word by wordSaul camped beside the road at the hill of Hachilah opposite Jeshimon, but David was living in the wilderness. When he realized that Saul had followed him there,
Read word by wordThen David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw the place where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the general of his army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the inner circle of the camp, with the troops camped around him.
Read word by wordAnd David asked Ahimelech the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” “I will go with you,” answered Abishai.
Read word by wordThat night David and Abishai came to the troops, and Saul was lying there asleep in the inner circle of the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the troops were lying around him.
Read word by wordAbishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand. Now, therefore, please let me thrust the spear through him into the ground with one stroke. I will not need to strike him twice!”
Read word by wordBut the LORD forbid that I should extend my hand against the LORD’s anointed. Instead, take the spear and water jug by his head, and let us go.”
Read word by wordSo David took the spear and water jug by Saul’s head, and they departed. No one saw them or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up; they all remained asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.
Read word by wordThen David crossed to the other side and stood atop the mountain at a distance; there was a wide gulf between them.
Read word by wordAnd David shouted to the troops and to Abner son of Ner, “Will you not answer me, Abner?” “Who are you who calls to the king?” Abner replied.
Read word by wordSo David said to Abner, “You are a man, aren’t you? And who in Israel is your equal? Why then did you not protect your lord the king when one of the people came to destroy him?
Read word by wordThis thing you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, all of you deserve to die, since you did not protect your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now look around. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were by his head?”
Read word by wordThen Saul recognized David’s voice and asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” “It is my voice, my lord and king,” David said.
Read word by wordNow please, may my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, then may He accept an offering. But if men have done it, may they be cursed in the presence of the LORD! For today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’
Read word by wordSo do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to look for a flea, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Read word by wordThen Saul replied, “I have sinned. Come back, David my son. I will never harm you again, because today you considered my life precious. I have played the fool and have committed a grave error!”
Read word by word“Here is the king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of the young men come over and get it.
Read word by wordMay the LORD repay every man for his righteousness and faithfulness. For the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not extend my hand against the LORD’s anointed.
Read word by wordAs surely as I valued your life today, so may the LORD value my life and rescue me from all trouble.”
