Then Abigail H26 hurried H4116 and took H3947 two hundred H3967 loaves of bread H3899 and two H8147 [fn]jugs H5035 of wine H3196 and five H2568 sheep H6629 already prepared H6213 and [fn]five H2568 seahs H5429 of roasted H7039 grain H7039 and one hundred H3967 clusters H6778 of H6778 raisins H6778 and two hundred H3967 cakes H1690 of H1690 figs H1690, and loaded H7760 them on donkeys H2543.
“So now H6258, my lord H113, as Yahweh H3068 lives H2416 and as your soul H5315 lives H2416, since H834 Yahweh H3068 has restrained H4513 you from [fn]shedding H935 blood H1818, and from saving H3467 yourself by your own hand H3027, so now H6258, let your enemies H340 and those who seek H1245 evil H7451 against H413 my lord H113, be as Nabal H5037.
Then Abigail H26 came H935 to Nabal H5037, and behold H2009, he was holding a feast H4960 in his house H1004, like the feast H4960 of a king H4428. And Nabal’s H5037 heart H3820 was merry H2895 within H5921 him, for he was very H5704 H3966 drunk H7910; so she did not tell H5046 him anything H1697 small H6996 or great H1419 until H5704 the morning H1242 light H216.
Then David H1732 heard H8085 that Nabal H5037 was dead H4191, so he said H559, “Blessed H1288 be Yahweh H3068, who H834 has pleaded H7378 the cause H7379 of my reproach H2781 from the hand H3027 of Nabal H5037 and has kept H2820 back H2820 His servant H5650 from evil H7451. Yahweh H3068 has also returned H7725 the evil H7451 of Nabal H5037 on his own head H7218.” Then David H1732 sent H7971 [fn]a proposal H1696 to Abigail H26, to take H3947 her as his wife H802.
