| [1]And Samuel died, and all the Israelites gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his owne house at Rama. And Dauid arose, & went downe to the wildernesse of Pharan |
[1]And SamuelH8050 diedH4191[H8799]; and all the IsraelitesH3478 were gathered togetherH6908[H8735], and lamentedH5594[H8799] him, and buriedH6912[H8799] him in his houseH1004 at RamahH7414. And DavidH1732 aroseH6965[H8799], and went downH3381[H8799] to the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290. |
| [2]And ther was a man in Maon, whose possession was in Carmel, and the man was exceeding mightie, and had three thousande sheepe & a thousand goates: And he was shearing his sheepe in Carmel |
[2]And there was a manH376 in MaonH4584, whose possessionsH4639 were in CarmelH3760; and the manH376 was veryH3966 greatH1419, and he had threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and a thousandH505 goatsH5795: and he was shearingH1494[H8800] his sheepH6629 in CarmelH3760. |
| [3]The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wyfe was Abigail, and she was a woman of a singuler wysedome, and beautifull: But the man was churlishe, and of shrewde conditions, & was of the kinred of Caleb |
[3]Now the nameH8034 of the manH376 was NabalH5037; and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 AbigailH26: and she was a womanH802 of goodH2896 understandingH7922, and of a beautifulH3303 countenanceH8389: but the manH376 was churlishH7186 and evilH7451 in his doingsH4611; and he was of the house of CalebH3614. |
| [4]And Dauid hearde in the wildernesse, that Nabal did sheare his sheepe |
[4]And DavidH1732 heardH8085[H8799] in the wildernessH4057 that NabalH5037 did shearH1494[H8802] his sheepH6629. |
| [5]And Dauid sent out ten young men, and sayd vnto them: Get you vp to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greete him in my name |
[5]And DavidH1732 sent outH7971[H8799] tenH6235 young menH5288, and DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto the young menH5288, Get you upH5927[H8798] to CarmelH3760, and goH935[H8804] to NabalH5037, and greetH7592[H8804][H7965] him in my nameH8034: |
| [6]And ye shal say: So mayest thou lyue, peace be to thee, peace be to thyne house, and peace be vnto all that thou hast |
[6]And thus shall ye sayH559[H8804] to him that livethH2416 in prosperity, PeaceH7965 be both to thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine houseH1004, and peace be unto all that thou hastH7965. |
| [7]Beholde I haue hearde say that thou hast shearers: Nowe, thy shepheardes were with vs, & we did them no spite, neither was there ought missing vnto them al the while they were in Carmel |
[7]And now I have heardH8085[H8804] that thou hast shearersH1494[H8802]: now thy shepherdsH7462[H8802] which were with us, we hurtH3637[H8689] them not, neither was there oughtH3972 missingH6485[H8738] unto them, all the whileH3117 they were in CarmelH3760. |
| [8]Aske thy laddes, & they will shew thee: Wherfore let these young men finde fauour in thyne eyes (for we come in a good season) & geue I pray thee whatsoeuer commeth to thyne hande vnto thy seruauntes, and to thy sonne Dauid |
[8]AskH7592[H8798] thy young menH5288, and they will shewH5046[H8686] thee. Wherefore let the young menH5288 findH4672[H8799] favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869: for we comeH935[H8804] in a goodH2896 dayH3117: giveH5414[H8798], I pray thee, whatsoever comethH4672[H8799] to thine handH3027 unto thy servantsH5650, and to thy sonH1121 DavidH1732. |
| [9]And when Dauids young men came, they told Nabal all those wordes in the name of Dauid: and helde their peace |
[9]And when David'sH1732 young menH5288 cameH935[H8799], they spakeH1696[H8762] to NabalH5037 according to all those wordsH1697 in the nameH8034 of DavidH1732, and ceasedH5117.[H8799] |
| [10]And Nabal aunswered Dauids seruauntes, and said: Who is Dauid? and who is ye sonne of Isai? There is plentie of seruauntes now a dayes that breake away euery man from his maister |
[10]And NabalH5037 answeredH6030[H8799] David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and saidH559[H8799], Who is DavidH1732? and who is the sonH1121 of JesseH3448? there be manyH7231[H8804] servantsH5650 now a daysH3117 that break awayH6555[H8693] every manH376 fromH6440 his masterH113. |
| [11]Shal I then take my bread, my water, and my fleshe that I haue killed for my shearers, and geue it vnto men whom I wot not whence they be |
[11]Shall I then takeH3947[H8804] my breadH3899, and my waterH4325, and my fleshH2878 that I have killedH2873[H8804] for my shearersH1494[H8802], and giveH5414[H8804] it unto menH582, whom I knowH3045 not whence they beH8804? |
| [12]And so Dauids seruauntes turned their way, and went againe, and came and tolde him all those sayinges |
[12]So David'sH1732 young menH5288 turnedH2015[H8799] their wayH1870, and went againH7725[H8799], and cameH935[H8799] and toldH5046[H8686] him all those sayingsH1697. |
| [13]And Dauid sayd vnto his men: Girde euery man his sword about him. And they girded euery man his sword about him, and Dauid was girded with his sword: And there folowed Dauid vpon a foure hundred men, and two hundred abode by the stuffe |
[13]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto his menH582, Gird ye onH2296[H8798] every manH376 his swordH2719. And they girded onH2296[H8799] every manH376 his swordH2719; and DavidH1732 also girded onH2296[H8799] his swordH2719: and there went upH5927[H8799] afterH310 DavidH1732 about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376; and two hundredH3967 abodeH3427[H8804] by the stuffH3627. |
| [14]But one of the laddes tolde Abigail Nabals wyfe, saying: Beholde, Dauid sent messengers vnto our maister out of the wildernesse to salute him: and he rayled on them |
[14]But oneH259 of the young menH5288 toldH5046[H8689] AbigailH26, Nabal'sH5037 wifeH802, sayingH559[H8800], Behold, DavidH1732 sentH7971[H8804] messengersH4397 out of the wildernessH4057 to saluteH1288[H8763] our masterH113; and he railedH5860 on themH8799. |
| [15]And yet the men were very good vnto vs, and dyd vs no displeasure, neither missed we any thyng as long as we were conuersaunt with them when we were in the fieldes |
[15]But the menH582 were veryH3966 goodH2896 unto us, and we were not hurtH3637[H8717], neither missedH6485[H8804] we any thingH3972, as long asH3117 we were conversantH1980[H8694] with them, when we were in the fieldsH7704: |
| [16]They were a wall vnto vs both by night and day, all the while we were with them keping sheepe |
[16]They were a wallH2346 unto us both by nightH3915 and dayH3119, all the whileH3117 we were with them keepingH7462[H8802] the sheepH6629. |
| [17]Now therefore take heede, & see what thou shalt do: for surelie euyll will come vpon our maister and al his housholde, for he is so wicked, that a man can not speake to him |
[17]Now therefore knowH3045[H8798] and considerH7200[H8798] what thou wilt doH6213[H8799]; for evilH7451 is determinedH3615[H8804] against our masterH113, and against all his householdH1004: for he is such a sonH1121 of BelialH1100, that a man cannot speakH1696 to himH8763. |
| [18]Then Abigail made haste, and tooke two hundred loaues, and two bottels of wine, and fiue sheepe redie dressed, and fiue measures of parched corne, and an hundred frailes of reasynges, and two hundred cakes of fygges, & laded them on asses |
[18]Then AbigailH26 made hasteH4116[H8762], and tookH3947[H8799] two hundredH3967 loavesH3899, and twoH8147 bottlesH5035 of wineH3196, and fiveH2568 sheepH6629 ready dressedH6213[H8803], and fiveH2568 measuresH5429 of parchedH7039 corn, and an hundredH3967 clusters of raisinsH6778, and two hundredH3967 cakesH1690 of figs, and laidH7760[H8799] them on assesH2543. |
| [19]And sayde vnto her young men: Go before me, beholde I come after you. But she tolde her husband Nabal nothing thereof |
[19]And she saidH559[H8799] unto her servantsH5288, Go onH5674[H8798] beforeH6440 me; behold, I comeH935[H8802] afterH310 you. But she toldH5046[H8689] not her husbandH376 NabalH5037. |
| [20]And as she rode on her asse, she came priuylie downe the syde of the hill, and behold Dauid and his men came downe against her, and she met them |
[20]And it was so, as she rodeH7392[H8802] on the assH2543, that she came downH3381[H8802] by the covertH5643 of the hillH2022, and, behold, DavidH1732 and his menH582 came downH3381[H8802] againstH7125[H8800] her; and she metH6298 themH8799. |
| [21]And Dauid saide: Surelie in vayne haue I kept all that this felow hath in the wildernes, so that nothing was missed of all that pertayned vnto him: and he hath quite me euill for good |
[21]Now DavidH1732 had saidH559[H8804], Surely in vainH8267 have I keptH8104[H8804] all that thisH2088 fellow hath in the wildernessH4057, so that nothingH3972 was missedH6485[H8738] of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requitedH7725[H8686] me evilH7451 for goodH2896. |
| [22]So and more also do God vnto the enemies of Dauid, if I leaue of all that pertayne to him by the dawnyng of the day, any that pysseth against the wall |
[22]SoH3541 and moreH3254[H8686] also doH6213[H8799] GodH430 unto the enemiesH341[H8802] of DavidH1732, if I leaveH7604[H8686] of all that pertain to him byH5704 the morningH1242 lightH216 any that pissethH8366[H8688] against the wallH7023. |
| [23]And when Abigail sawe Dauid, she hasted and lyghted of her asse, and fell before Dauid on her face, and bowed her selfe to the grounde |
[23]And when AbigailH26 sawH7200[H8799] DavidH1732, she hastedH4116[H8762], and lighted offH3381[H8799] the assH2543, and fellH5307[H8799] beforeH639 DavidH1732 on her faceH6440, and bowedH7812[H8691] herself to the groundH776, |
| [24]And fell at his feete, and sayde: Let this iniquitie be counted myne my lord, and let thyne handmaide I praye thee speake in thyne audience, & heare the wordes of thy handmayd |
[24]And fellH5307[H8799] at his feetH7272, and saidH559[H8799], Upon me, my lordH113, upon me let this iniquityH5771 be: and let thine handmaidH519, I pray thee, speakH1696[H8762] in thine audienceH241, and hearH8085[H8798] the wordsH1697 of thine handmaidH589. |
| [25]Let not my lorde I pray thee regarde this wicked man Nabal: For as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, & folly is with him: But I thyne handmayd sawe not the young men of my lorde whom thou sendedst |
[25]LetH7760[H8799] not my lordH113, I pray thee, regardH3820 this manH376 of BelialH1100, even NabalH5037: for as his nameH8034 is, so is he; NabalH5037 is his nameH8034, and follyH5039 is with him: but I thine handmaidH519 sawH7200[H8804] not the young menH5288 of my lordH113, whom thou didst sendH7971.[H8804] |
| [26]Now therefore my lorde, as the Lord lyueth, and as thy soule liueth, euen the Lorde that hath withholden thee from comming to [shed] blood, and saued thee thyne hand: So nowe, I pray God that thyne enemies, & they that intende to do my lorde euyll, may be as Nabal |
[26]Now therefore, my lordH113, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, seeing the LORDH3068 hath withholdenH4513[H8804] thee from comingH935[H8800] to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467[H8687] thyself with thine own handH3027, now let thine enemiesH341[H8802], and they that seekH1245[H8764] evilH7451 to my lordH113, be as NabalH5037. |
| [27]And now this blessing which thyne handmayd hath brought vnto my lord, let it be geuen vnto the young men that folowe my lorde |
[27]And now this blessingH1293 which thine handmaidH8198 hath broughtH935[H8689] unto my lordH113, let it even be givenH5414[H8738] unto the young menH5288 that followH1980[H8693][H7272] my lordH113. |
| [28]I praye thee forgeue the trespasse of thyne handmayd: for the Lorde will make my lord a sure house, because my lorde fighteth the battailes of the Lord, and there could none euill be found in thee in all thy dayes |
[28]I pray thee, forgiveH5375[H8798] the trespassH6588 of thine handmaidH519: for the LORDH3068 will certainlyH6213[H8800] makeH6213[H8799] my lordH113 a sureH539[H8737] houseH1004; because my lordH113 fightethH3898[H8737] the battlesH4421 of the LORDH3068, and evilH7451 hath not been foundH4672[H8735] in thee all thy daysH3117. |
| [29]And yet a man hath rysen to persecute thee, and to seeke thy soule: but the soule of my Lorde shall be bound in the bundel of the lyuyng with the Lord thy God, and the soules of thy enemies shall God cast out, euen as out of the middle of a slyng |
[29]Yet a manH120 is risenH6965[H8799] to pursueH7291[H8800] thee, and to seekH1245[H8763] thy soulH5315: but the soulH5315 of my lordH113 shall be boundH6887[H8803] in the bundleH6872 of lifeH2416 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; and the soulsH5315 of thine enemiesH341[H8802], them shall he sling outH7049[H8762], as out of the middleH8432[H3709] of a slingH7050. |
| [30]And when the Lorde shall haue done to my lord al the good that he hath promysed thee, and shall haue made thee ruler ouer Israel |
[30]And it shall come to pass, when the LORDH3068 shall have doneH6213[H8799] to my lordH113 according to all the goodH2896 that he hath spokenH1696[H8765] concerning thee, and shall have appointedH6680[H8765] thee rulerH5057 over IsraelH3478; |
| [31]Then shall it be no griefe vnto thee, nor offence of mynde vnto my lorde, that thou hast not shed blood causelesse, and that my lord hath not auenged him selfe: But when the Lorde shall haue dealt well with my lord, then thinke on thyne handmayde |
[31]That this shall be no griefH6330 unto thee, nor offenceH4383 of heartH3820 unto my lordH113, either that thou hast shedH8210[H8800] bloodH1818 causelessH2600, or that my lordH113 hath avengedH3467[H8687] himself: but when the LORDH3068 shall have dealt wellH3190[H8689] with my lordH113, then rememberH2142[H8804] thine handmaidH519. |
| [32]And Dauid said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meete me |
[32]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] to AbigailH26, BlessedH1288[H8803] be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which sentH7971[H8804] thee this dayH3117 to meetH7125 meH8800: |
| [33]Blessed is thy saying, and blessed art thou which hast kept me this day from comming to shed blood, & from auengeing my selfe with myne owne hande |
[33]And blessedH1288[H8803] be thy adviceH2940, and blessedH1288[H8803] be thou, which hast keptH3607[H8804] me this dayH3117 from comingH935[H8800] to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467[H8687] myself with mine own handH3027. |
| [34]For in very deede, as the Lorde God of Israel lyueth, which hath kept me backe from hurting thee: except thou haddest hasted and met me, surely there hadde not ben left vnto Nabal by the dawnyng of the day, any that pysseth against the wall |
[34]For in very deedH199, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, which hath kept me backH4513[H8804] from hurtingH7489[H8687] thee, exceptH3884 thou hadst hastedH4116[H8765] and comeH935[H8799] to meetH7125[H8800] me, surely there had not been leftH3498[H8738] unto NabalH5037 by the morningH1242 lightH216 any that pissethH8366[H8688] against the wallH7023. |
| [35]And so Dauid receaued of her hande that which she had brought him, and sayde vnto her: Go vp in peace to thyne house, beholde I haue heard thy voyce, and haue graunted thy petition |
[35]So DavidH1732 receivedH3947[H8799] of her handH3027 that which she had broughtH935[H8689] him, and saidH559[H8804] unto her, Go upH5927[H8798] in peaceH7965 to thine houseH1004; seeH7200[H8798], I have hearkenedH8085[H8804] to thy voiceH6963, and have acceptedH5375[H8799] thy personH6440. |
| [36]And Abigail came to Nabal, and beholde, he held a feast in his house lyke the feast of a king, and Nabals heart was mery within hym, for he was very drunken: Wherfore she tolde him nothyng neither lesse nor more, vntyll the morowe mornyng |
[36]And AbigailH26 cameH935[H8799] to NabalH5037; and, behold, he held a feastH4960 in his houseH1004, like the feastH4960 of a kingH4428; and Nabal'sH5037 heartH3820 was merryH2896 within him, for he was veryH3966 drunkenH7910: wherefore she toldH5046[H8689] him nothingH1697, lessH6996 or moreH1419, until the morningH1242 lightH216. |
| [37]But in the morning when the wine was gone out of Nabal, his wyfe tolde him these wordes, and his heart dyed within him, and he became as a stone |
[37]But it came to pass in the morningH1242, when the wineH3196 was gone outH3318[H8800] of NabalH5037, and his wifeH802 had toldH5046[H8686] him these thingsH1697, that his heartH3820 diedH4191[H8799] withinH7130 him, and he became as a stoneH68. |
| [38]And vpon a ten dayes after, the Lord smote Nabal, that he dyed |
[38]And it came to pass about tenH6235 daysH3117 after, that the LORDH3068 smoteH5062[H8799] NabalH5037, that he diedH4191.[H8799] |
| [39]And when Dauid heard that Nabal was dead, he sayd: Blessed be the Lord that hath iudged ye cause of my rebuke of the hand of Nabal, & hath kept his seruaunt from euill: For the Lord hath recompenced the wickednes of Nabal vpon his owne head. And Dauid sent to commune with Abigail, to take her to his wyfe |
[39]And when DavidH1732 heardH8085[H8799] that NabalH5037 was deadH4191[H8804], he saidH559[H8799], BlessedH1288[H8803] be the LORDH3068, that hath pleadedH7378[H8804] the causeH7379 of my reproachH2781 from the handH3027 of NabalH5037, and hath keptH2820[H8804] his servantH5650 from evilH7451: for the LORDH3068 hath returnedH7725[H8689] the wickednessH7451 of NabalH5037 upon his own headH7218. And DavidH1732 sentH7971[H8799] and communedH1696[H8762] with AbigailH26, to takeH3947[H8800] her to him to wifeH802. |
| [40]And when the seruauntes of Dauid were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake vnto her, saying: Dauid sent vs vnto thee, to take thee to his wyfe |
[40]And when the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 were comeH935[H8799] to AbigailH26 to CarmelH3760, they spakeH1696[H8762] unto her, sayingH559[H8800], DavidH1732 sentH7971[H8804] us unto thee, to takeH3947[H8800] thee to him to wifeH802. |
| [41]And she arose, & bowed her selfe on her face to the earth, and saide: Beholde, let thy handmayd be a seruaunt, to washe the feete of the seruauntes of my lorde |
[41]And she aroseH6965[H8799], and bowedH7812[H8691] herself on her faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559[H8799], Behold, let thine handmaidH519 be a servantH8198 to washH7364[H8800] the feetH7272 of the servantsH5650 of my lordH113. |
| [42]And Abigail hasted, and arose, & gate her vpon an Asse, with fiue damosels of hers that went at her feete, and she went after the messengers of Dauid, & became his wyfe |
[42]And AbigailH26 hastedH4116[H8762], and aroseH6965[H8799], and rodeH7392[H8799] upon an assH2543, with fiveH2568 damselsH5291 of hers that wentH1980[H8802] afterH7272 her; and she wentH3212[H8799] afterH310 the messengersH4397 of DavidH1732, and became his wifeH802. |
| [43]Dauid also toke Ahinoam of Iezrael, and they were both his wyues |
[43]DavidH1732 also tookH3947[H8804] AhinoamH293 of JezreelH3157; and they were also bothH8147 of them his wivesH802. |
| [44]But Saul had geuen Michol his daughter, Dauids wyfe, to Phalti the sonne of Lais, which was of Gallim |
[44]But SaulH7586 had givenH5414[H8804] MichalH4324 his daughterH1323, David'sH1732 wifeH802, to PhaltiH6406 the sonH1121 of LaishH3919, which was of GallimH1554. |
