They buried him at his home in Ramah. David then left and went down to the Maon wilderness.2There was a man in Maon who did business in Carmel. He was a very important man and owned three thousand sheep and one thousand goats. At that time, he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 3The man\u2019s name was Nabal, and his wife\u2019s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and attractive woman, but her husband was a hard man who did evil things. He was a Calebite.4While in the wilderness, David heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep. 5So David sent ten servants, telling them, \u201cGo up to Carmel. When you get to Nabal, greet him for me. 6Say this to him: \u2018Peace to you, your household, and all that is yours! 7I\u2019ve heard that you are now shearing sheep. As you know, your shepherds were with us in the wilderness. We didn\u2019t mistreat them. Moreover, the whole time they were at Carmel, nothing of theirs went missing. 8Ask your servants; they will tell you the same. So please receive these young men favorably, because we\u2019ve come on a special day. Please give whatever you have on hand to your servants and to your son David.\u2019\u201d9When David\u2019s young men arrived, they said all this to Nabal on David\u2019s behalf. Then they waited. 10But Nabal answered David\u2019s servants, \u201cWho is David? Who is Jesse\u2019s son? There are all sorts of slaves running away from their masters these days. 11Why should I take my bread, my water, and the meat I\u2019ve butchered for my shearers and give it to people who came here from who knows where?\u201d 12So David\u2019s young servants turned around and went back the way they came. When they arrived, they reported every word of this to David.13Then David said to his soldiers, \u201cAll of you, strap on your swords!\u201d So each of them strapped on their swords, and David did the same. Nearly four hundred men went up with David. Two hundred men remained back with the supplies.14One of Nabal\u2019s servants told his wife Abigail, \u201cDavid sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he just yelled at them. 15But the men were very good to us and didn\u2019t mistreat us. Nothing of ours went missing the whole time we were out with them in the fields. 16In fact, the whole time we were with them, watching our sheep, they were a protective wall around us both night and day. 17Think about that and see what you can do, because trouble is coming for our master and his whole household. But he\u2019s such a despicable person no one can speak to him.\u201d18Abigail quickly took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep ready for cooking, five seahs of roasted grain, one hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes. She loaded all this on donkeys 19and told her servants, \u201cGo on ahead of me. I\u2019ll be right behind you.\u201d But she didn\u2019t tell her husband Nabal.20As she was riding her donkey, going down a trail on the hillside, David and his soldiers appeared, descending toward her, and she met up with them. 21David had just been saying, \u201cWhat a waste of time\u2014guarding all this man\u2019s stuff in the wilderness so that nothing of his went missing! He has repaid me evil instead of good! 22May God deal harshly with me, David, and worse still if I leave alive even one single one who urinates on a wall belonging to him come morning!\u201d23When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and fell facedown before him, bowing low to the ground. 24She fell at his feet and said, \u201cPut the blame on me, my master! But please let me, your servant, speak to you directly. Please listen to what your servant has to say. 25Please, my master, pay no attention to this despicable man Nabal. He\u2019s exactly what his name says he is! His name means fool, and he is foolish! But I myself, your servant, didn\u2019t see the young men that you, my master, sent. 26I pledge, my master, as surely as the LORD lives and as you live, that the LORD has held you back from bloodshed and taking vengeance into your own hands! But now let your enemies and those who seek to harm my master be exactly like Nabal! 27Here is a gift, which your servant has brought to my master. Please let it be given to the young men who follow you, my master. 28Please forgive any offense by your servant. The LORD will definitely make an enduring dynasty for my master because my master fights the LORD\u2019s battles, and nothing evil will be found in you throughout your lifetime. 29If someone chases after you and tries to kill you, my master, then your life will be bound up securely in the bundle of life by the LORD your God, but he will fling away your enemies\u2019 lives as from the pouch of a sling. 30When the LORD has done for my master all the good things he has promised you, and has installed you as Israel\u2019s leader, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWRQUEltTTg1OGpXeUJKbUR5MlgtaWw1dV93QXxBQ3Jtc0ttMjJGX0IzeG0xTFB2QnJuNUtwdS02S0EwZ1piWC1pOGl1QmZzbXUzdE5ja1Q5Q19ySTFyT3YtLURadk5WMzNweHNqWk1mWGFCQWZ3YlAyYUhIUThBVVZBZUhnN1RWSko4cUdzRVBNcnZBdktBcTNIcw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F&amp;v=hW_7p_TGB6o\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1Now Samuel died, and all Israel gathered to mourn for him.
