ȕȗ 25:1 Now Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned for
him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David moved down into
the Desert of Maon.
»ï»ó25:2 ³ª¹ß¿¡°Ô µµ¿òÀ» ûÇÔ
ȕȗ 25:2 A certain man in Maon, who had property there at Carmel,
was very wealthy. He had a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which
he was shearing in Carmel.
ȕȗ 25:3 His name was Nabal and his wife's name was Abigail. She was
an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husba nd, a Calebite, was surly
and mean in his dealings.
ȕȗ 25:4 While David was in the desert, he heard that Nabal was shearing
sheep.
ȕȗ 25:5 So he sent ten young men and said to them, "Go up to Nabal
at Carmel and greet him in my name.
ȕȗ 25:6 Say to him: 'Long life to you! Good health to you and your
household! And good health to all that is yours!
ȕȗ 25:7 "'Now I hear that it is sheep-shearing time. When your shepherds
were with us, we did not mistreat them, and the whole time they were at
Carmel nothing of theirs was missing.
ȕȗ 25:8 Ask your own servants and they will tell you. Therefore be
favorable toward my young men, since we come at a festive time. Please
give your servants and your son David whatever you can find for them.'"
»ï»ó25:9 ³ª¹ßÀÇ ¸ð¿å¿¡ °ÝºÐÇÑ ´ÙÀ
ȕȗ 25:9 When David's men arrived, they gave Nabal this message in
David's name. Then they waited.
ȕȗ 25:10 Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is this David? Who
is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaki ng away from their masters
these days.
ȕȗ 25:11 Why should I take my bread and water, and the meat I have
slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men co ming from who knows
where?"
ȕȗ 25:12 David's men turned around and went back. When they arrived,
they reported every word.
ȕȗ 25:13 David said to his men, "Put on your swords!" So they put
on their swords, and David put on his. Ab out four hundred men went up
with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.

ȕȗ 25:14 One of the servants told Nabal's wife Abigail: "David sent
messengers from the desert to give our maste r his greetings, but he hurled
insults at them.
ȕȗ 25:15 Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat
us, and the whole time we were out in the fields n ear them nothing was
missing.
ȕȗ 25:16 Night and day they were a wall around us all the time we
were herding our sheep near them.
ȕȗ 25:17 Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster
is hanging over our master and his whole househo ld. He is such a wicked
man that no one can talk to him."
ȕȗ 25:18 Abigail lost no time. She took two hundred loaves of bread,
two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five seah s of roasted grain, a
hundred cakes of raisins and two hundred cakes of pressed figs, and loaded
them on donkeys.
ȕȗ 25:19 Then she told her servants, "Go on ahead; I'll follow you."
But she did not tell her husband Nabal .
ȕȗ 25:20 As she came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, there
were David and his men descending toward her, an d she met them.
ȕȗ 25:21 David had just said, "It's been useless--all my watching
over this fellow's property in the desert so t hat nothing of his was missing.
He has paid me back evil for good.
ȕȗ 25:22 May God deal with David, be it ever so severely, if by morning
I leave alive one male of all who belong to h im!"
ȕȗ 25:23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and
bowed down before David with her face to the grou nd.
ȕȗ 25:24 She fell at his feet and said: "My lord, let the blame be
on me alone. Please let your servant speak to you; hear what your servant
has to say.
ȕȗ 25:25 May my lord pay no attention to that wicked man Nabal. He
is just like his name--his name is Fool, and folly goes with him. But as
for me, your servant, I did not see the men my master sent.
ȕȗ 25:26 "Now since the LORD has kept you, my master, from bloodshed
and from avenging yourself with your own ha nds, as surely as the LORD
lives and as you live, may your enemies and all who intend to harm my master
be like Nabal.
ȕȗ 25:27 And let this gift, which your servant has brought to my
master, be given to the men who follow you.
ȕȗ 25:28 Please forgive your servant's offense, for the LORD will
certainly make a lasting dynasty for my master, bec ause he fights the
LORD'S battles. Let no wrongdoing be found in you as long as you live.
ȕȗ 25:29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, the
life of my master will be bound securely in the b undle of the living by
the LORD your God. But the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from
the pocket of a sling.
ȕȗ 25:30 When the LORD has done for my master every good thing he
promised concerning him and has appointed him leade r over Israel,
ȕȗ 25:31 my master will not have on his conscience the staggering
burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged h imself. And when the
LORD has brought my master success, remember your servant."
ȕȗ 25:32 David said to Abigail, "Praise be to the LORD, the God of
Israel, who has sent you today to meet me.
ȕȗ 25:33 May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping
me from bloodshed this day and from avenging mysel f with my own hands.
ȕȗ 25:34 Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives,
who has kept me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me,
not one male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by daybreak."
ȕȗ 25:35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him
and said, "Go home in peace. I have heard yo ur words and granted your
request."
»ï»ó25:36 ³ª¹ßÀÇ Á×À½
ȕȗ 25:36 When Abigail went to Nabal, he was in the house holding
a banquet like that of a king. He was in high spirit s and very drunk.
So she told him nothing until daybreak.
ȕȗ 25:37 Then in the morning, when Nabal was sober, his wife told
him all these things, and his heart failed him and he became like a stone.
ȕȗ 25:38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal and he died.
»ï»ó25:39 ´ÙÀ°ú ¾Æºñ°¡ÀÏÀÇ °áÈ¥
ȕȗ 25:39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Praise be
to the LORD, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with
contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal's
wrongdoing down on his own head." Then David sent word to Abigail, asking
her to become his wife.
ȕȗ 25:40 His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail, "David
has sent us to you to take you to become his wi fe."
ȕȗ 25:41 She bowed down with her face to the ground and said, "Here
is your maidservant, ready to serve you and wash the feet of my master's
servants."
ȕȗ 25:42 Abigail quickly got on a donkey and, attended by her five
maids, went with David's messengers and became his wife.

ȕȗ 25:43 David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both
were his wives.
ȕȗ 25:44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to
Paltiel son of Laish, who was from Gallim. |
