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

26 and now lord my alive LORD and alive soul your which to withhold you LORD from to come (in): come in/on/with blood and to save hand: themselves your to/for you and now to be like/as Nabal enemy your and [the] to seek to(wards) lord my distress: evil

Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

27 and now [the] blessing [the] this which to come (in): bring maidservant your to/for lord my and to give: give to/for youth [the] to go: follow in/on/with foot lord my

And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the Lord shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

32 and to say David to/for Abigail to bless LORD God Israel which to send: depart you [the] day: today [the] this to/for to encounter: meet me

For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

35 and to take: recieve David from hand: power her [obj] which to come (in): bring to/for him and to/for her to say to ascend: rise to/for peace to/for house: home your to see: behold! to hear: obey in/on/with voice your and to lift: kindness face: kindness your

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

40 and to come (in): come servant/slave David to(wards) Abigail [the] Carmel [to] and to speak: speak to(wards) her to/for to say David to send: depart us to(wards) you to/for to take: marry you to/for him to/for woman: wife
