1 Samuel 25:24-33

24And fellH5307 at his feetH7272, and saidH559, Upon me, my lordH113, upon me let this iniquityH5771 be : and let thy handmaidH519, I pray thee, speakH1696 in thy hearingH241, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of thy handmaidH589.1 25LetH7760 not my lordH113, I pray thee, regardH3820 this worthlessH1100 manH376, even NabalH5037: for as his nameH8034 is, so is he; NabalH5037 is his nameH8034, and follyH5039 is with him: but I thy handmaidH519 sawH7200 not the young menH5288 of my lordH113, whom thou didst sendH7971.23 26Now therefore, my lordH113, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, seeing the LORDH3068 hath withheldH4513 thee from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 thyself with thy own handH3027, now let thy enemiesH341, and they that seekH1245 evilH7451 to my lordH113, be as NabalH5037.4 27And now this blessingH1293 which thy handmaidH8198 hath broughtH935 to my lordH113, let it even be givenH5414 to the young menH5288 that followH1980H7272 my lordH113.56 28I pray thee, forgiveH5375 the trespassH6588 of thy handmaidH519: for the LORDH3068 will certainlyH6213 makeH6213 my lordH113 a sureH539 houseH1004; because my lordH113 fightethH3898 the battlesH4421 of the LORDH3068, and evilH7451 hath not been foundH4672 in thee all thy daysH3117. 29Yet a manH120 hath risenH6965 to pursueH7291 thee, and to seekH1245 thy soulH5315: but the soulH5315 of my lordH113 shall be boundH6887 in the bundleH6872 of lifeH2416 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; and the soulsH5315 of thy enemiesH341, them shall he sling outH7049, as from the middleH8432H3709 of a slingH7050.7 30And it shall come to pass, when the LORDH3068 shall have doneH6213 to my lordH113 according to all the goodH2896 that he hath spokenH1696 concerning thee, and shall have appointedH6680 thee rulerH5057 over IsraelH3478; 31That this shall be no griefH6330 to thee, nor offenceH4383 of heartH3820 to my lordH113, either that thou hast shedH8210 bloodH1818 without causeH2600, or that my lordH113 hath avengedH3467 himself: but when the LORDH3068 shall have dealt wellH3190 with my lordH113, then rememberH2142 thy handmaidH519.8

32And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbigailH26, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who sentH7971 thee this dayH3117 to meetH7125 me: 33And blessedH1288 be thy adviceH2940, and blessedH1288 be thou, who hast keptH3607 me this dayH3117 from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 myself with my own handH3027.
