Context of 1 Samuel 25:32

30The Lord will surely do for you all the good things that he has promised to do. He will make you the ruler of the Israelites. 31When that happens, you will not feel sorry for something bad that you might have done today. You could have killed people today for no good reason. You could have tried to punish these people yourself. So please remember me when the Lord has helped you to rule as king.’ David said to Abigail, ‘I praise the Lord, Israel's God. He has sent you to meet me here today. 33I thank you for your wisdom. May the Lord bless you because of what you have done to help me. You have stopped me from killing people today. I would have punished these people myself. 34But the Lord has not let me hurt you. As surely as the Lord, Israel's God, lives, I would have killed all the men in Nabal's family before dawn. But you came quickly to meet me.’
