Asv Parallel Bible with Kjvp for 1samuel 25 31

1 And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

2 And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

5 And David sent ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

6 and thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

8 Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee: wherefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thy hand, unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

9 And when Davids young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

10 And Nabal answered Davids servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master.

11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men of whom I know not whence they are?

12 So Davids young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.

14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabals wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them.

15 But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields:

16 they were a wall unto us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house: for he is such a worthless fellow, that one cannot speak to him.

18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

19 And she said unto her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

20 And it was so, as she rode on her ass, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.

22 God do so unto the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.

23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and alighted from her ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

24 And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity; and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.

25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

26 Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah hath withholden thee from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and them that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

27 And now this present which thy servant hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

28 Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of Jehovah; and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days.

29 And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.

30 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel,

31 that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me:

33 and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, that hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

34 For in very deed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, who hath withholden me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.

35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said unto her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabals heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

37 And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that Jehovah smote Nabal, so that he died.

39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal hath Jehovah returned upon his own head. And David sent and spake concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

40 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

41 And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they became both of them his wives.

44 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, Davids wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

1 And Samuel ^H8050 died; ^H4191 and all ^H3605 the Israelites ^H3478 were gathered together, ^H6908 and lamented ^H5594 him , and buried ^H6912 him in his house ^H1004 at Ramah. ^H7414 And David ^H1732 arose, ^H6965 and went down ^H3381 to ^H413 the wilderness ^H4057 of Paran. ^H6290

2 And there was a man ^H376 in Maon, ^H4584 whose possessions ^H4639 were in Carmel; ^H3760 and the man ^H376 was very ^H3966 great, ^H1419 and he had three ^H7969 thousand ^H505 sheep, ^H6629 and a thousand ^H505 goats: ^H5795 and he was ^H1961 shearing ^H1494 ^H853 his sheep ^H6629 in Carmel. ^H3760

3 Now the name ^H8034 of the man ^H376 was Nabal; ^H5037 and the name ^H8034 of his wife ^H802 Abigail: ^H26 and she was a woman ^H802 of good ^H2896 understanding, ^H7922 and of a beautiful ^H3303 countenance: ^H8389 but the man ^H376 was churlish ^H7186 and evil ^H7451 in his doings; ^H4611 and he ^H1931 was of the house of Caleb. ^H3612

4 And David ^H1732 heard ^H8085 in the wilderness ^H4057 that ^H3588 Nabal ^H5037 did shear ^H1494 ^H853 his sheep. ^H6629

5 And David ^H1732 sent out ^H7971 ten ^H6235 young men, ^H5288 and David ^H1732 said ^H559 unto the young men, ^H5288 Get you up ^H5927 to Carmel, ^H3760 and go ^H935 to ^H413 Nabal, ^H5037 and greet ^H7592 ^H7965 him in my name: ^H8034

6 And thus ^H3541 shall ye say ^H559 to him that liveth ^H2416 in prosperity , Peace ^H7965 be both to thee, ^H859 and peace ^H7965 be to thine house, ^H1004 and peace ^H7965 be unto all ^H3605 that ^H834 thou hast.

7 And now ^H6258 I have heard ^H8085 that ^H3588 thou hast shearers: ^H1494 now ^H6258 thy shepherds ^H7462 which ^H834 were ^H1961 with ^H5973 us , we hurt ^H3637 them not, ^H3808 neither ^H3808 was there aught ^H3972 missing ^H6485 unto them, all ^H3605 the while ^H3117 they were ^H1961 in Carmel. ^H3760

8 Ask ^H7592 ^H853 thy young men, ^H5288 and they will show ^H5046 thee . Wherefore let the young men ^H5288 find ^H4672 favor ^H2580 in thine eyes: ^H5869 for ^H3588 we come ^H935 in ^H5921 a good ^H2896 day: ^H3117 give, ^H5414 I pray thee, ^H4994 ^H853 whatsoever ^H834 cometh ^H4672 to thine hand ^H3027 unto thy servants, ^H5650 and to thy son ^H1121 David. ^H1732

9 And when David's ^H1732 young men ^H5288 came, ^H935 they spoke ^H1696 to ^H413 Nabal ^H5037 according to all ^H3605 those ^H428 words ^H1697 in the name ^H8034 of David, ^H1732 and ceased. ^H5117

10 And Nabal ^H5037 answered ^H6030 ^H853 David's ^H1732 servants, ^H5650 and said, ^H559 Who ^H4310 is David ^H1732 ? and who ^H4310 is the son ^H1121 of Jesse ^H3448 ? there be many ^H7231 servants ^H5650 now a days ^H3117 that break away ^H6555 every man ^H376 from ^H4480 ^H6440 his master. ^H113

11 Shall I then take my bread, ^H3899 and my water, ^H4325 and my flesh ^H2878 that ^H834 I have killed ^H2873 for my shearers, ^H1494 and give ^H5414 it unto men, ^H376 whom ^H834 I know ^H3045 not ^H3808 whence ^H335 ^H4480 ^H2088 they ^H1992 be ?

12 So David's ^H1732 young men ^H5288 turned ^H2015 their way, ^H1870 and went again, ^H7725 and came ^H935 and told ^H5046 him all ^H3605 those ^H428 sayings. ^H1697

13 And David ^H1732 said ^H559 unto his men, ^H376 Gird ye on ^H2296 every man ^H376 ^H853 his sword. ^H2719 And they girded on ^H2296 every man ^H376 ^H853 his sword; ^H2719 and David ^H1732 also ^H1571 girded on ^H2296 ^H853 his sword: ^H2719 and there went up ^H5927 after ^H310 David ^H1732 about four ^H702 hundred ^H3967 men; ^H376 and two hundred ^H3967 abode ^H3427 by ^H5921 the stuff. ^H3627

14 But one ^H259 ^H5288 of the young men ^H4480 ^H5288 told ^H5046 Abigail, ^H26 Nabal's ^H5037 wife, ^H802 saying, ^H559 Behold, ^H2009 David ^H1732 sent ^H7971 messengers ^H4397 out of the wilderness ^H4480 ^H4057 to salute ^H1288 ^H853 our master; ^H113 and he railed ^H5860 on them.

15 But the men ^H376 were very ^H3966 good ^H2896 unto us , and we were not ^H3808 hurt, ^H3637 neither ^H3808 missed ^H6485 we any thing, ^H3972 as long as ^H3605 ^H3117 we were conversant ^H1980 with ^H854 them , when we were ^H1961 in the fields: ^H7704

16 They were ^H1961 a wall ^H2346 unto ^H5921 us both ^H1571 by night ^H3915 and ^H1571 day, ^H3119 all ^H3605 the while ^H3117 we were ^H1961 with ^H5973 them keeping ^H7462 the sheep. ^H6629

17 Now ^H6258 therefore know ^H3045 and consider ^H7200 what ^H4100 thou wilt do; ^H6213 for ^H3588 evil ^H7451 is determined ^H3615 against ^H413 our master, ^H113 and against ^H5921 all ^H3605 his household: ^H1004 for he ^H1931 is such a son ^H1121 of Belial, ^H1100 that a man cannot speak ^H4480 ^H1696 to ^H413 him.

18 Then Abigail ^H26 made haste, ^H4116 and took ^H3947 two hundred ^H3967 loaves, ^H3899 and two ^H8147 bottles ^H5035 of wine, ^H3196 and five ^H2568 sheep ^H6629 ready dressed, ^H6213 and five ^H2568 measures ^H5429 of parched ^H7039 corn , and a hundred ^H3967 clusters of raisins, ^H6778 and two hundred ^H3967 cakes of figs, ^H1690 and laid ^H7760 them on ^H5921 asses. ^H2543

19 And she said ^H559 unto her servants, ^H5288 Go on ^H5674 before ^H6440 me; behold, ^H2005 I come ^H935 after ^H310 you . But she told ^H5046 not ^H3808 her husband ^H376 Nabal. ^H5037

20 And it was ^H1961 so, as she ^H1931 rode ^H7392 on ^H5921 the ass, ^H2543 that she came down ^H3381 by the covert ^H5643 of the hill, ^H2022 and, behold, ^H2009 David ^H1732 and his men ^H376 came down ^H3381 against ^H7125 her ; and she met ^H6298 them.

21 Now David ^H1732 had said, ^H559 Surely ^H389 in vain ^H8267 have I kept ^H8104 ^H853 all ^H3605 that ^H834 this ^H2088 fellow hath in the wilderness, ^H4057 so that nothing ^H3808 ^H3972 was missed ^H6485 of all ^H4480 ^H3605 that ^H834 pertained unto him : and he hath requited ^H7725 me evil ^H7451 for ^H8478 good. ^H2896

22 So ^H3541 and more ^H3254 also ^H3541 do ^H6213 God ^H430 unto the enemies ^H341 of David, ^H1732 if ^H518 I leave ^H7604 of all ^H4480 ^H3605 that ^H834 pertain to him by ^H5704 the morning light ^H1242 any that pisseth ^H8366 against the wall. ^H7023

23 And when Abigail ^H26 saw ^H7200 ^H853 David, ^H1732 she hasted, ^H4116 and lighted ^H3381 off ^H4480 ^H5921 the ass, ^H2543 and fell ^H5307 before ^H639 David ^H1732 on ^H5921 her face, ^H6440 and bowed herself ^H7812 to the ground, ^H776

24 And fell ^H5307 at ^H5921 his feet, ^H7272 and said, ^H559 Upon me, ^H589 my lord, ^H113 upon me let this iniquity ^H5771 be : and let thine handmaid, ^H519 I pray thee, ^H4994 speak ^H1696 in thine audience, ^H241 and hear ^H8085 ^H853 the words ^H1697 of thine handmaid. ^H519

25 Let not ^H408 my lord, ^H113 I pray thee, ^H4994 regard ^H7760 ^H853 ^H3820 ^H413 this ^H2088 man ^H376 of Belial, ^H1100 even Nabal: ^H5037 for ^H3588 as his name ^H8034 is , so ^H3651 is he; ^H1931 Nabal ^H5037 is his name, ^H8034 and folly ^H5039 is with ^H5973 him : but I ^H589 thine handmaid ^H519 saw ^H7200 not ^H3808 ^H853 the young men ^H5288 of my lord, ^H113 whom ^H834 thou didst send. ^H7971

26 Now ^H6258 therefore , my lord, ^H113 as the LORD ^H3068 liveth, ^H2416 and as thy soul ^H5315 liveth, ^H2416 seeing ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 hath withheld ^H4513 thee from coming ^H4480 ^H935 to shed blood, ^H1818 and from avenging ^H3467 thyself with thine own hand, ^H3027 now ^H6258 let thine enemies, ^H341 and they that seek ^H1245 evil ^H7451 to ^H413 my lord, ^H113 be ^H1961 as Nabal. ^H5037

27 And now ^H6258 this ^H2063 blessing ^H1293 which ^H834 thine handmaid ^H8198 hath brought ^H935 unto my lord, ^H113 let it even be given ^H5414 unto the young men ^H5288 that follow ^H1980 ^H7272 my lord. ^H113

28 I pray thee, ^H4994 forgive ^H5375 the trespass ^H6588 of thine handmaid: ^H519 for ^H3588 the LORD ^H3068 will certainly make ^H6213 ^H6213 my lord ^H113 a sure ^H539 house; ^H1004 because ^H3588 my lord ^H113 fighteth ^H3898 the battles ^H4421 of the LORD, ^H3068 and evil ^H7451 hath not ^H3808 been found ^H4672 in thee all thy days ^H4480 ^H3117 .

29 Yet a man ^H120 is risen ^H6965 to pursue ^H7291 thee , and to seek ^H1245 ^H853 thy soul: ^H5315 but the soul ^H5315 of my lord ^H113 shall be ^H1961 bound ^H6887 in the bundle ^H6872 of life ^H2416 with ^H854 the LORD ^H3068 thy God; ^H430 and the souls ^H5315 of thine enemies, ^H341 them shall he sling out, ^H7049 as out of the middle ^H8432 of a sling. ^H7050

30 And it shall come to pass, ^H1961 when ^H3588 the LORD ^H3068 shall have done ^H6213 to my lord ^H113 according to all ^H3605 ^H853 the good ^H2896 that ^H834 he hath spoken ^H1696 concerning ^H5921 thee , and shall have appointed ^H6680 thee ruler ^H5057 over ^H5921 Israel; ^H3478

31 That this ^H2063 shall be ^H1961 no ^H3808 grief ^H6330 unto thee , nor offense ^H4383 of heart ^H3820 unto my lord, ^H113 either that thou hast shed ^H8210 blood ^H1818 causeless, ^H2600 or that my lord ^H113 hath avenged ^H3467 himself : but when the LORD ^H3068 shall have dealt well ^H3190 with my lord, ^H113 then remember ^H2142 ^H853 thine handmaid. ^H519

32 And David ^H1732 said ^H559 to Abigail, ^H26 Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 which ^H834 sent ^H7971 thee this ^H2088 day ^H3117 to meet ^H7125 me:

33 And blessed ^H1288 be thy advice, ^H2940 and blessed ^H1288 be thou, ^H859 which ^H834 hast kept ^H3607 me this ^H2088 day ^H3117 from coming ^H4480 ^H935 to shed blood, ^H1818 and from avenging ^H3467 myself with mine own hand. ^H3027

34 For in very deed, ^H199 as the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478 liveth, ^H2416 which ^H834 hath kept me back ^H4513 from hurting ^H4480 ^H7489 thee, except ^H3588 ^H3884 thou hadst hasted ^H4116 and come ^H935 to meet ^H7125 me, surely ^H3588 there had not ^H518 been left ^H3498 unto Nabal ^H5037 by ^H5704 the morning ^H1242 light ^H216 any that pisseth ^H8366 against the wall. ^H7023

35 So David ^H1732 received ^H3947 of her hand ^H4480 ^H3027 ^H853 that which ^H834 she had brought ^H935 him , and said ^H559 unto her , Go up ^H5927 in peace ^H7965 to thine house; ^H1004 see, ^H7200 I have hearkened ^H8085 to thy voice, ^H6963 and have accepted ^H5375 thy person. ^H6440

36 And Abigail ^H26 came ^H935 to ^H413 Nabal; ^H5037 and, behold, ^H2009 he held a feast ^H4960 in his house, ^H1004 like the feast ^H4960 of a king; ^H4428 and Nabal's ^H5037 heart ^H3820 was merry ^H2896 within ^H5921 him , for he ^H1931 was very ^H5704 ^H3966 drunken: ^H7910 wherefore she told ^H5046 him nothing ^H3808 ^H1697 , less ^H6996 or more, ^H1419 until ^H5704 the morning ^H1242 light. ^H216

37 But it came to pass ^H1961 in the morning, ^H1242 when the wine ^H3196 was gone out ^H3318 of Nabal ^H4480 ^H5037 , and his wife ^H802 had told ^H5046 him ^H853 these ^H428 things, ^H1697 that his heart ^H3820 died ^H4191 within ^H7130 him , and he ^H1931 became ^H1961 as a stone. ^H68

38 And it came to pass ^H1961 about ten ^H6235 days ^H3117 after , that the LORD ^H3068 smote ^H5062 ^H853 Nabal, ^H5037 that he died. ^H4191

39 And when David ^H1732 heard ^H8085 that ^H3588 Nabal ^H5037 was dead, ^H4191 he said, ^H559 Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD, ^H3068 that ^H834 hath pleaded ^H7378 ^H853 the cause ^H7379 of my reproach ^H2781 from the hand ^H4480 ^H3027 of Nabal, ^H5037 and hath kept ^H2820 his servant ^H5650 from evil ^H4480 ^H7451 : for the LORD ^H3068 hath returned ^H7725 the wickedness ^H7451 of Nabal ^H5037 upon his own head. ^H7218 And David ^H1732 sent ^H7971 and communed ^H1696 with Abigail, ^H26 to take ^H3947 her to him to wife. ^H802

40 And when the servants ^H5650 of David ^H1732 were come ^H935 to ^H413 Abigail ^H26 to Carmel, ^H3760 they spoke ^H1696 unto ^H413 her, saying, ^H559 David ^H1732 sent ^H7971 us unto ^H413 thee , to take ^H3947 thee to him to wife. ^H802

41 And she arose, ^H6965 and bowed herself ^H7812 on her face ^H639 to the earth, ^H776 and said, ^H559 Behold, ^H2009 let thine handmaid ^H519 be a servant ^H8198 to wash ^H7364 the feet ^H7272 of the servants ^H5650 of my lord. ^H113

42 And Abigail ^H26 hasted, ^H4116 and arose, ^H6965 and rode ^H7392 upon ^H5921 an ass, ^H2543 with five ^H2568 damsels ^H5291 of hers that went ^H1980 after ^H7272 her ; and she went ^H1980 after ^H310 the messengers ^H4397 of David, ^H1732 and became ^H1961 his wife. ^H802

43 David ^H1732 also took ^H3947 Ahinoam ^H293 of Jezreel ^H4480 ^H3157 ; and they were ^H1961 also ^H1571 both ^H8147 of them his wives. ^H802

44 But Saul ^H7586 had given ^H5414 ^H853 Michal ^H4324 his daughter, ^H1323 David's ^H1732 wife, ^H802 to Phalti ^H6406 the son ^H1121 of Laish, ^H3919 which ^H834 was of Gallim ^H4480 ^H1554 .
