{Nabal's
Foolish Thoughts}
1~~To
the Chief Musician
{a
Psalm} of David.
Nabal/'the
fool' {name does mean 'fool'}
has
said in his 'right lobe'/heart
{thought this in his very soul - an atheist},
"There
is not Elohiym/Godhead
{negative volition at the point of God consciousness}."
They
{Nabal and other wealthy, unbelieving reversionists}
have
become 'perverted in their souls' {shachath - Hiphil stem}.
They
'have done(s) a detestable deed'
{ta`ab
- is a plural verb - but aliylah' is a singular noun. The
singular noun means it refers to Nabal's debt to David that he
refused to pay. But the verb is plural and this is good Hebrew to
indicate that wealthy reversionists do the same all the time -
they are wealthy and do not need to Renege on debts -
but do it for fun!}.
there
are none that manufactures {'asah}
good
{towb - divine good - no divine good production}.
{Note: Nabal was the very rich husband of Abigail who, upon Nabal's death became one of David's wives. See Nabal in I Samuel 25:25 where Abigail talks about this 'fool' of a husband. Abigail was a SuperGrace believer married to a stupid unbeliever whose very name means fool. Now here we find out in what area particularly he was a fool - 'there is no God'!}
2~~Jehovah/God
out of the heavens
'looked
down {for someone to bless}' {shaqaph}
upon
the children of men,
to
'make a recognizance'/see {ra'ah}
if
there were any
who
had been caused to be wise {in SuperGrace status}
{sakal - Hiphil stem - means GAPing to SuperGrace - intake of the
Word},
and
constantly kept on seeking after
{darash - verb of positive volition - in salvation and thereafter in
the intake of the Word}
Elohiym/Godhead
{God located David and Abigail in view here}.
3~~They
have deviated {from God's laws for Establishment}/
'become
perverted'/'become reversionistic'.
{cuwr - perfect tense - means from beginning of human history to
the end, wealthy, unbelieving reversionism will be like this}.
They
'have become morally corrupt'
{meaning 'have done detestable deeds'}
{'alach - means filthy , here morally filthy - explains Nabal's
drunken party in I Samuel 25:36 - his party was probably a Phallic
cult event - with sexual degeneracy mixed in}.
There
is not one who manufactures {divine} good,
no,
not even one {'echad}.
4~~Have
all the 'workers of emptiness'/reversionists
{falling backward so human viewpoint is replacing divine viewpoint
again}
do
not understand/know {yada'}?
The
ones destroying/devouring up my people . . .
as
they have eaten bread
{illustration of the easy with which they destroy the followers of
David}.
Furthermore,
they do not call upon Jehovah/God.
5^^There
is great awe/'respect {for the authority of}
{pachad pachad - doubling is very strong}
for
Elohiym/Godhead
in
the generation of the righteous/'SuperGrace believers' {tsaddiyq}.
{David
Speaks to Nabal}
6~~You
{Nabal} have caused shame
{refused to pay his debt for fun of it}
to
the plan/contract {David's agreement to protect Nabal's sheep}
with
the afflicted
{David - he was under Saul's seek and destroy persecution},
because
Jehovah/God is his {David's} security.
{Note: Nabal was an atheist. He knew that David proclaimed himself under the protection of God. So, he reneged on his debt so he can say crap like - 'oh what a great protector David has'. He got his 'reward' for this in I Samuel 25:37-38 directly from God.}
7~~Who
shall give from Zion {name of the fortification},
the
deliverance of Israel?
{the prophecy was that whoever captures the fortress of the
Zebucites (sp) will be the deliverer of Israel - David is the one who
eventually takes the fort and made it his castle}
When
Jehovah/God restores {from}
the
adversity of His people,
Jacob
{used for Jews who are unbelievers}
shall
celebrate/'dance in a circle' {giyl},
and
Israel {used for saved Jews}
shall
'be joyful'/'express great inner happiness'/+H {samach}.
