I Samuel
Chapter
25 (continued)
26~~"Now
therefore my lord,
'as
Jehovah/God lives/'by the life of Jehovah/God {by His essence}'
and
'as your own soul lives'/'by the life of your own soul
{as a Super-grace believer}',
since
Jehovah has restrained you from shedding blood
{literally 'bloods' meaning he was going to kill more than one person}
and
to deliver you from your own hand
{David 'solving his problem' himself (vengeance is the Lord's)};
therefore,
let your enemies
and
the ones seeking to destroy my lord,
become
as Nabal
{meaning become fools}."
{Principal
of Blessing by Association with SuperGrace David}
27~~"And
now let this blessing
{Nabal's goods that should have been in payment for David's
services}
which
your 'female slave' {shiphchah}
has
been caused to bring to my lord
be
given/distributed to the warriors
under
the tactical command {halak - Hithpael stem}
of
my lord {'adown - means 'one in authority in a special area - but
not absolute ruler' - David here}
{who are under 'blessing by association' with David}.
{Abigail
Assumes Full Responsibility for Nabal's Failure}
28~~"Please
forgive the trespass of your female slave {'amah}
{repeating that SHE is responsible so her husband and the other
men are not killed}
for
manufacturing {'asah - out of grace},
Jehovah/God
will certainly manufacture
{'asah - out of your SuperGrace}
{'asah 'asah is very strong and certain}
-
my lord David -
an
enduring dynasty
{the Davidic Dynasty will reign forever through his Greater Son -
Jesus Christ}.
Because
the battles of Jehovah/God
are
my lord fighting . . .
and
evil/reversionism
{killing Nabal would be a step toward reversionism}
has
not been discovered in you all of your days,
since
you took command at the cave of Adullam.
{Note: A SuperGrace believer {Abigail} is 'reminding' David of things he already knows - the battle is the Lord's. David will recognize doctrine in her speech and spare Nabal.}
29~~"Though
a man {Saul}
keeps
on being risen up
{quwm - Abigail confirms that Saul's chase is not ended}
to
pursue you and seek to destroy your life,
yet
the soul of my lord is being bound up
in
the bundle of lives
{chay - plural form - SuperGrace blessings in many areas of life}
with
Jehovah/God, your 'Elohiym/Godhead,
but,
the souls of your enemies . . .
He
will hurl/fire her
{feminine form used here for 'his enemies' -
it means in reversionism they have 'female souls' and are not really
'men'}
from
the loading zone' of the sling
{sin unto death}."
{Note: In the ancient world, things of value were wrapped up in a bundle to protect that, which is of value. In SuperGrace, his life was of great value to the Lord. So, God will 'wrap' David up in all the categories of blessings in life. 'Lives' here refers to the categories of happinesses in life.}
30~~It
shall come to pass {change in pace - new start}
when
Jehovah/God shall have done/manufactured
{'asah - out of grace}
according
to all the good
{towb - David's SuperGrace soul is valuable to God}
that
he has promised/spoken {dabar}
concerning
you, my lord,
and
has appointed
{God did in eternity past with results that are permanent}
you
'absolute ruler'
{nagiyd - stronger then 'malak' meaning king - David will be a good
ruler with full authority 'gracious dictator' is accurate - Jesus
Christ will be the best ruler ever and He will be a 'perfect and
absolute dictator' - dictator is only a negative word when the
dictator is not spiritually mature - the best form of government is
an enlightened dictator and the worst form is a tyrannical
dictator.}
over
Israel."
31~~That
this shall become to you a stumbling block
{puwqah
- someone who truly causes you to stumble
(not a patsy you blame your failures on). Here it means
if David angrily murders Nabal and his men this would
become a stumbling block for David when he becomes
king with huge power - he might become a tyrant.},
nor
'cause of stumbling' {mikshowl - the motivation to abuse
his
power - mental attitude sins}
of
the 'right lobe'/heart of my lord/'adonay,
either
that you have shed blood without a cause
{murder for welshing on a debt is excessive - violence
here is an abuse of power},
or
that my lord/'adonay has avenged himself
{principal of "battle is the Lord's" }
but
when Jehovah/God shall have caused good
to
my lord/'adonay {David},
then
'remember in love'
{zakar
- means her advice - remember again when you
are a benevolent dictator she is NOT begging for favors
when he is king}
your
female slave {'amah}.
32~~And
David said to Abigail {the gist is given here},
"{You
are} being blessed . . . of Jehovah . . .
'Elohiym/Godhead
of Israel . . .
Who
sent you this day to meet me."
{Note: All of her blessings come from the doctrine in her soul. God blesses the vessels holding His divine viewpoint.}
33~~"And
being blessed . . . by your discernment/advice { ta`am}
{Abigail's divine viewpoint made David recall his own doctrine and
that he was making a subjective wrong decision in killing Nabal -
objectively he said he was putting it in the hands of the Lord -
THEN went to kill himself! This is blessing of one SuperGrace
believer by another SuperGrace believer - David realizes she is
correct!},
are
you blessed {Abigail},
who
has restrained me
this
day from bloodshed,
and
from delivering myself with my own hand."
34~~"For
in very deed,
as
Jehovah . . . 'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel lives {chay},
Who
has 'restrained me from causing sorrow' to you
{mana` - not a restraint from violence but in causing grief to the
wife},
except
you had hurried and come to meet me,
otherwise
surely there would not have been left any men
{idiom: literally 'any who piss against the wall' - men do this}
to
Nabal by the morning light.
35^^So
David kept on taking from her {Abigail} hand
that
which she had brought him,
and
said unto her,
"Go
up in peace to your house.
See,
I have 'listened, concentrated and obeyed' {shama'}
to
your voice,
and
accepted your face/presence {paniym}
{means David accepted her payment and will no longer kill her
husband and his adult males}."
36~~Then
Abigail returned to Nabal {her fool of a husband}
and,
behold, he held a 'drinking banquet' in his castle . . .
{mishteh - everyone ties on a drunk}
like
the 'drinking banquet' of a king.
And
Nabal's was 'mentally high'
{idiom: literally "his 'right lobe'/heart was good upon him"}
for
he was very intoxicated {shikkowr - the sin of drunkenness}.
Therefore
she told him 'no intelligence report', small or great,
{a great believer - knew when to talk and knew when not to talk}
until
the morning light.
{Note: See Psalm 14:3 for more on this party. David (probably with Abigail) wrote Psalm 14 to her fool of a husband.}
{Nabal
Goes into Shock and then Dies in Verse 38}
37~~And,
it came to pass in the morning,
when
the wine was gone out of Nabal {sobering up - detoxified},
and
his wife had told him these things,
that
his heart died within him
{massive shot of adrenaline - Neutrogenic shock},
and
he became as a stone {immobilized in shock}.
{Nabal
is Taken By The Lord}
38~~And
it came to pass about ten days after,
that
Jehovah/God struck Nabal
{nagaph - this means struck him with cardiac arrest or a disease of
some sort}
and
he died.
{David's
Intelligence (G2) System Reports Death of Nabal}
39~~And
when David heard and understood {shama'}
that
Nabal had died, he said,
"Being
blessed . . . {am I David by God}.
Jehovah/God,
Who
has taken up the cause
of
my reproach/scorn {not paying a valid debt to David}
from
the hand of Nabal,
therefore
He has restrained {by using Abigail's speech}
His
servant {David} from evil {ra'}.
For
Jehovah/God has caused to return
the
evil {ra'} of Nabal upon his own head."
And
David 'sent {an assistant} on a definite mission'
{the custom of the day to take a wife}
and
proposed/'communicated categorically' {dabar}
to
Abigail, to 'passionately take' her to himself
to
be his woman/wife {ishshah}.
{Note: David does not wait for the Taboos of proper society. He learns of the death of Nabal and immediately calls for her to marry him. David is a man after God's own heart. So was this wrong? No evidence that he was in this case.}
40~~And
when the servants of David
'came
straight to' Abigail to Carmel,
they
spoke unto her, saying,
"David
sent us unto you,
to
take you passionately to him to wife."
41~~And
she arose {stood straight up first},
and
bowed herself on her face {polite humble posture of the day}
to
the earth and said,
"Behold,
your female servant {'amah}
a
female slave {shiphchah}
to
wash the feet of the servants of my lord."
{Note: If a woman is not willing to be 'the slave' of her right man, he is not your right man. When a woman understands this is the man of her life, she will be very happy to serve him. Then he also will love her and treat her with great respect if he is truly a Noble Man.}
42~~And
Abigail hurried, and mounted,
and
rode upon an ass,
accompanied
by five damsels in waiting who attended her;
Consequently,
she followed David's messengers,
and
became his woman/wife.
{Note: RBT seriously says that women who are expected to have children should have domestics to care for the baby, take care of the house, take care of her personal needs, and even to cook a steak for the ol man. Maybe this is a problem in today's society. My experience says he is correct.}
{David's
Polygamy}
43~~David
already had taken
Ahinoam
{name means 'pleasantness' - she was a good time girl}
of
Jezreel . . . and they both became his wives.
{Note: With Michal still being his wife, add Abigail and Ahinoam and now David has three wives. Per Deuteronomy 17:17, the new king of Israel should not have multiply wives so David clearly has violated the Word of God in taking a second wife etc.}
{Saul's
Vindictiveness}
44~~For
Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife,
to
Phalti, the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
{Phalti name means 'delivered' - but means David (not Phalti) was
delivered FROM a reversionist woman - Michal - David's wife}
{Note: Saul in reversionism tries to hurt David.}
