1 Samuel 25:8‘Ask thy young men, and they declare to thee, and the young men find grace in thine eyes, for on a good day we have come; give, I pray thee, that which thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to David.’1 Samuel 25:9And the young men of David come in, and speak unto Nabal according to all these words, in the name of David—and rest.1 Samuel 25:10And Nabal answereth the servants of David and saith, ‘Who is David, and who the son of Jesse? to-day have servants been multiplied who are breaking away each from his master;1 Samuel 25:11and I have taken my bread, and my water, and my flesh, which I slaughtered for my shearers, and have given it to men whom I have not known whence they are!’1 Samuel 25:12And the young men of David turn on their way, and turn back, and come in, and declare to him according to all these words.1 Samuel 25:13And David saith to his men, ‘Gird ye on each his sword;’ and they gird on each his sword, and David also girdeth on his sword, and there go up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred have remained by the vessels.1 Samuel 25:14And to Abigail wife of Nabal hath one young man of the youths declared, saying, ‘Lo, David hath sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he flieth upon them;1 Samuel 25:15and the men are very good to us, and have not put us to shame, and we have not looked after anything all the days we have gone up and down with them, in our being in the field;1 Samuel 25:16a wall they have been unto us both by night and by day, all the days of our being with them, feeding the flock.1 Samuel 25:17And, now, know and consider what thou dost; for evil hath been determined against our lord, and against all his house, and he is too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken to.’1 Samuel 25:18And Abigail hasteth, and taketh two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep, prepared, and five measures of roasted corn, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred bunches of figs, and setteth them on the asses.1 Samuel 25:19And she saith to her young men, ‘Pass over before me; lo, after you I am coming;’ and to her husband Nabal she hath not declared it;1 Samuel 25:20and it hath come to pass, she is riding on the ass and is coming down in the secret part of the hill-country, and lo, David and his men are coming down to meet her, and she meeteth them.1 Samuel 25:21And David said, ‘Only, in vain I have kept all that this one hath in the wilderness, and nothing hath been looked after of all that he hath, and he turneth back to me evil for good;1 Samuel 25:22thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the morning—of those sitting on the wall.’1 Samuel 25:23And Abigail seeth David, and hasteth and cometh down from off the ass, and falleth before David on her face, and boweth herself to the earth,1 Samuel 25:24and falleth at his feet and saith, ‘On me, my lord, the iniquity; and let, I pray thee, thy handmaid speak in thine ear, and hear the words of thy handmaid.1 Samuel 25:25Let not, I pray thee, my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, on Nabal, for as his name is so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I, thine handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom thou didst send;1 Samuel 25:26and now, my lord, Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, in that Jehovah hath withheld thee from coming in with blood, and to save thy hand to thee—now let thine enemies be as Nabal, even those seeking evil unto my lord.1 Samuel 25:27‘And, now, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath brought to my lord—it hath been given to the young men who are going up and down at the feet of my lord.1 Samuel 25:28Bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy handmaid, for Jehovah doth certainly make to my lord a stedfast house; for the battles of Jehovah hath my lord fought, and evil is not found in thee all thy days.1 Samuel 25:29And man riseth to pursue thee and to seek thy soul, and the soul of my lord hath been bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; as to the soul of thine enemies, He doth sling them out in the midst of the hollow of the sling.1 Samuel 25:30‘And it hath been, when Jehovah doth to my lord according to all the good which He hath spoken concerning thee, and appointed thee for leader over Israel,1 Samuel 25:31that this is not to thee for a stumbling-block, and for an offence of heart to my lord—either to shed blood for nought, or my lord’s restraining himself; and Jehovah hath done good to my lord, and thou hast remembered thy handmaid.’1 Samuel 25:32And David saith to Abigail, ‘Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day to meet me,1 Samuel 25:33and blessed is thy discretion, and blessed art thou in that thou hast restrained me this day from coming in with blood, and to restrain my hand to myself.1 Samuel 25:34And yet, Jehovah liveth, God of Israel, who hath kept me back from doing evil with thee, for unless thou hadst hasted, and dost come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal till the light of the morning, of those sitting on the wall.’1 Samuel 25:35And David receiveth from her hand that which she hath brought to him, and to her he hath said, ‘Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and accept thy face.’1 Samuel 25:36And Abigail cometh in unto Nabal, and lo, he hath a banquet in his house, like a banquet of the king, and the heart of Nabal is glad within him, and he is drunk unto excess, and she hath not declared to him anything, less or more, till the light of the morning.1 Samuel 25:37And it cometh to pass in the morning, when the wine is gone out from Nabal, that his wife declareth to him these things, and his heart dieth within him, and he hath been as a stone.2 Samuel 22:22For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.2 Samuel 22:23For all His judgments are before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.2 Samuel 22:24And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.1 Kings 13:8And the man of God saith unto the king, ‘If thou dost give to me the half of thine house, I do not go in with thee, nor do I eat bread, nor do I drink water, in this place;1 Kings 13:9for so He commanded me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou dost not eat bread nor drink water, nor turn back in the way that thou hast come.’1 Kings 13:10And he goeth on in another way, and hath not turned back in the way in which he came in unto Beth-El.1 Kings 18:21and Elijah cometh nigh unto all the people, and saith, ‘Till when are ye leaping on the two branches?—if Jehovah is God, go after Him; and if Baal, go after him;’ and the people have not answered him a word.1 Kings 18:22And Elijah saith unto the people, ‘I—I have been left a prophet of Jehovah—by myself; and the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men;1 Kings 19:18and I have left in Israel seven thousand, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed him.’1 Kings 22:7And Jehoshaphat saith, ‘Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, and we seek by him?’2 Kings 5:15And he turneth back unto the man of God, he and all his camp, and cometh in, and standeth before him, and saith, ‘Lo, I pray thee, I have known that there is not a God in all the earth except in Israel; and now, take, I pray thee, a blessing from thy servant.’2 Kings 5:17And Naaman saith, ‘If not—let be given, I pray thee, to thy servant, a couple of mules’ burden of earth, for thy servant doth make no more burnt-offering and sacrifice to other gods, but to Jehovah.2 Kings 9:11And Jehu hath gone out unto the servants of his lord, and one saith to him, ‘Is there peace? wherefore came this madman unto thee?’ and he saith unto them, ‘Ye have known the man and his talk.’2 Kings 9:12And they say, ‘False, declare, we pray thee, to us;’ and he saith, ‘Thus and thus spake he unto me, saying, Thus said Jehovah, I have anointed thee for king unto Israel.’2 Kings 9:13And they haste and take each his garment, and put it under him at the top of the stairs, and blow with a trumpet, and say, ‘Reigned hath Jehu!’2 Kings 9:14And Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspireth against Joram—(and Joram was keeping in Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, from the presence of Hazael king of Aram,2 Kings 9:15and king Joram turneth back to be healed in Jezreel, of the wounds with which the Aramaeans smite him, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram)—and Jehu saith, ‘If it is your mind, let not an escaped one go out from the city, to go to declare it in Jezreel.’2 Kings 9:16And Jehu rideth, and goeth to Jezreel, for Joram is lying there, and Ahaziah king of Judah hath gone down to see Joram.2 Kings 9:17And the watchman is standing on the tower in Jezreel, and seeth the company of Jehu in his coming, and saith, ‘A company I see;’ and Joram saith, ‘Take a rider and send to meet them, and let him say, Is there peace?’2 Kings 9:18and the rider on the horse goeth to meet him, and saith, ‘Thus said the king, Is there peace?’ and Jehu saith, ‘What—to thee and to peace? turn round behind me.’ And the watchman declareth, saying, ‘The messenger came unto them, and he hath not returned.’2 Kings 9:19And he sendeth a second rider on a horse, and he cometh in unto them, and saith, ‘Thus said the king, Is there peace?’ and Jehu saith, ‘What—to thee and to peace? turn round behind me.’2 Kings 9:20And the watchman declareth, saying, ‘He came unto them, and he hath not returned, and the driving is like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi, for with madness he driveth.’2 Kings 9:21And Jehoram saith, ‘Harness;’ and his chariot is harnessed, and Jehoram king of Israel goeth out, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each in his chariot, and they go out to meet Jehu, and find him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.2 Kings 9:22And it cometh to pass, at Jehoram’s seeing Jehu, that he saith, ‘Is there peace, Jehu?’ and he saith, ‘What is the peace, while the whoredoms of Jezebel thy mother, and her witchcrafts, are many?’2 Kings 9:23And Jehoram turneth his hands, and fleeth, and saith unto Ahaziah, ‘Deceit, O Ahaziah!’2 Kings 9:24And Jehu hath filled his hand with a bow, and smiteth Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow goeth out from his heart, and he boweth down in his chariot.2 Kings 9:25And Jehu saith unto Bidkar his captain, ‘Lift up, cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite—for, remember, I and thou were riding together after Ahab his father, and Jehovah lifted upon him this burden:2 Kings 9:26Have I not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons seen yesternight—the affirmation of Jehovah—yea, I have recompensed to thee in this portion—the affirmation of Jehovah;—and now, lift up, cast him into the portion, according to the word of Jehovah.’2 Kings 9:27And Ahaziah king of Judah hath seen, and fleeth the way of the garden-house, and Jehu pursueth after him, and saith, ‘Smite him—also him—in the chariot,’ in the going up to Gur, that is Ibleam, and he fleeth to Megiddo, and dieth there,2 Kings 9:28and his servants carry him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and bury him in his burying-place, with his fathers, in the city of David.
