1 Samuel 25 - Bíblia Online

Algum tempo depois morreu Samuel e todo o Israel se juntou para o funeral, sepultando-o no local próprio da sua família, em Ramá ntretanto David desceu para o deserto de Parã. 
Havia um homem rico de Maom que tinha uma grande propriedade para criação de gado perto da aldeia de Carmelo. Possuia três mil ovelhas e um milhar de cabras. Naquela altura encontrava-se na sua quinta tosquiando as ovelhas. 
O seu nome era Nabal, e a sua mulher, que era bela e inteligente, chamava-se Abigail. No entanto aquele indivíduo, descendente de Calebe, tinha um mau carácter e uma natureza ruim. 
Ao ouvir que Nabal estava a tosquiar as ovelhas, David mandou dez dos seus companheiros a Carmelo com esta mensagem: 
Que o Senhor aumente a tua prosperidade, bem como a da tua família, e que tenhas muita paz, tu e todos os teus! Disseram-me que estás a tosquiar os animais. Hás-de saber certamente que aos teus pastores, enquanto estiveram no nosso meio, nunca lhes aconteceu qualquer mal, e nada lhes faltou enquanto estiveram no Carmelo. Pergunta-lhes e verás se é ou não assim. Agora, envio-te aqui alguns dos meus homens para te pedir um donativo, pois sabemos que é uma altura de fartura para ti. Por favor, dá-nos qualquer coisa do que tiveres à mão. 
Os moços de David deram o recado e ficaram à espera. 
Mas quem é esse David, exclamou. Quem pensa, esse filho de Jessé, que é ele? Há montes de servos nestes tempos que correm, fugidos aos seus senhores, porque é que eu havia de pegar no meu pão, na minha água, na carne das reses que eu abati para os meus criados e dá-la a um bando de gente que aparece não se sabe donde? 
Os mensageiros de David voltaram para trás e contaram-lhe a resposta de Nabal. 
Peguem nas espadas!, foi a resposta de David, enquanto embainhava a sua. Quatrocentos partiram com ele e duzentos ficaram a guardar as bagagens. 
Entretanto, um dos criados de Nabal foi contar tudo a Abigail: David mandou cá uns homens seus, desde o deserto, que falaram com muito boas maneiras ao nosso amo, mas este insultou-os e pô-los na rua. E é verdade que a gente de David nos tratou sempre bem e nada sofremos enquanto estivemos com eles; a bem dizer, de dia e de noite, eles eram como um muro de protecção para nós e para o gado; nada nos foi roubado durante todo o tempo que estivemos com eles. Vê bem o que há a fazer, porque as coisas vão correr mal para o nosso amo e a sua família - ele tem tão mau feitio que ninguém pode falar com ele! 
Então Abigail preparou à pressa duzentos bolos de farinha, dois odres de vinho, cinco ovelhas guisadas, setenta litros de grão torrado, cem bolos de passas, duzentos bolos de figo e carregou tudo em jumentos, dizendo ao criados: 
Vão já andando com isso, que eu vou a seguir. Mas não disse nada ao marido. 
Quando ela vinha a caminho montada no seu jumento, encontrou-se com David. 
David tinha vindo a pensar durante a marcha: Ora aqui está como nos fartámos de fazer bem a este indivíduo, sem recompensa alguma. Protegemos-lhe os rebanhos no deserto de tal forma que nada lhes foi roubado nem lhes faltou, e agora paga-nos desta maneira o bem que lhe fizemos. Tudo o que acabámos por receber foi insultos. Que Deus me castigue se até amanhã de manhã ficar vivo algum homem naquela casa! 
Abigail ao ver David desmontou rapidamente e inclinou-se. 
Recaia sobre mim a culpa disto tudo, meu senhor, disse. Peço-te que ouças aquilo que pretendo dizer-te. 
Nabal é um homem mau; por favor não ligues ao que diz. É um louco, aliás tal como o seu nome indica. Mas a questão é que eu não soube da vinda dos teus mensageiros. 
E agora, sendo que o Senhor te impediu de matares e de te vingares por tuas próprias mãos, a minha oração a Deus, a favor da tua vida, é que todos os teus inimigos sejam tão castigados como Nabal for. 
Portanto, aqui está um presente que vos trouxe, para ti e para os teus homens. Perdoa-me a ousadia em ter vindo até aqui. O Senhor certamente te recompensará com uma realeza firme, assim como aos teus descendentes, pois que combates as guerras do Senhor, e nunca se viu que agisses erradamente em toda a tua vida. Mesmo quando és perseguido por aqueles que procuram tirar-te a vida, o Senhor teu Deus te protege como se estivesses na palma da sua mão! Mas as vidas dos teus inimigos desaparecerão como pedras atiradas numa funda. Quando o Senhor tiver cumprido todas as coisas que te prometeu e te tiver feito rei de Israel, certamente não quererás ter a consciência dum assassino, que procurou fazer justiça por suas próprias mãos! Portanto, quando o Senhor tiver realizado todas essas grandes coisas a teu favor, peço-te que te lembres de mim! 
David respondeu a Abigail desta forma: Seja bendito o Senhor Deus de Israel que te mandou ao meu encontro neste dia! 
Graças a Deus pelo teu bom senso! Abençoada sejas tu por me teres impedido de matar um homem e de me ter vingado por minhas próprias mãos. Porque, com efeito, juro-te pelo Senhor, o Deus de Israel, que me guardou de te fazer mal, que se não tivesses vindo ao meu encontro, nenhum dos homens de Nabal estaria com vida amanhã de manhã. 
David aceitou os presentes e disse-lhe que regressasse a casa sem temor, porque não lhe mataria o marido. 
Quando ela chegou a casa verificou que Nabal tinha dado uma grande festa e que estava a cair de bêbado; por isso nada lhe disse do seu encontro com David até chegar à manhã seguinte. Nessa altura, estando Nabal já recuperado da embriaguês, quando ela lhe contou tudo o que acontecera, ele teve um ataque e caiu paralisado; ficou assim durante dez dias, até que morreu. Foi o Senhor quem lhe tirou a vida. 
Ao ouvir da morte dele David disse: Louvado seja o Senhor! Deus deu a Nabal a recompensa que merecia e preservou-me de ser eu a fazê-lo. Recebeu assim a paga do seu pecado. David enviou então mensageiros ter com Abigail, pedindo-lhe que se tornasse sua mulher. 
Quando chegaram a Carmelo e lhe apresentaram o pedido, ela aceitou e aprontou-se para partir. Levou consigo cinco das suas moças, montou no jumento e foi com os homens de David. Assim se tornou mulher de David. 
David casou também com Ainoã de Jezreel. O rei Saul entretanto tinha obrigado a primeira mulher de David, Mical sua filha, a casar com um indivíduo de Galim chamado Palti, filho de Laís. 

And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran. 
And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding and beautiful: but the man was harsh and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb. 
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. 
And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Go{+} up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name: 
and thus you{+} will say to him, To life! Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. 
And now I have heard that you have shearers: your shepherds have now been with us, and we did not hurt them, neither was there anything missing to them, all the while they were in Carmel. 
Ask your young men, and they will tell you: therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray you, whatever comes to your hand, to your slaves, and to your son David. 
And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased. 
And Nabal answered David's slaves, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many slaves nowadays that break away every man from his master. 
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men of whom I don't know from where they are? 
So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words. 
And David said to his men, Gird{+} on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred remained by the baggage. 
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Look, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at them. 
But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither did we miss anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields: 
they were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them shepherding the sheep. 
Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house: for he is such a worthless fellow, that one can't speak to him. 
Then Abigail hurried, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five seahs of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys. 
And she said to her young men, Go on before me; look, I come after you{+}. But she didn't tell her husband Nabal. 
And it was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, look, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them. 
Now David had said, Surely in vain I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him: and he has returned me evil for good. 
God do so to David, and more also, if I leave of all who pertain to him by the morning light so much as one urinating against a wall. 
And when Abigail saw David, she hurried, and dismounted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground. 
And she fell at his feet, and said, On me, my lord, on me be the iniquity; and let your slave, I pray you, speak in your ears, and you hear the words of your slave. 
Don't let my lord, I pray you, regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I your slave didn't see the young men of my lord, whom you sent. 
Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, seeing Yahweh has withheld you from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal. 
And now this present which your slave has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord. 
Forgive, I pray you, the trespass of your slave: for Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Yahweh; and evil will not be found in you all your days. 
And though man rises up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God; and the souls of your enemies, he will sling them out, as from the hollow of a sling. 
And it will come to pass, when Yahweh will have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and will have appointed you leader over Israel, 
that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Yahweh will have dealt well with my lord, then remember your slave. 
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me: 
and blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, that have kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand. 
For in very deed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, except you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one urinating against a wall. 
So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice, and have accepted your person. 
And Abigail came to Nabal; and, look, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry inside him, for he was very drunk: therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light. 
And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died inside him, and he became as a stone. 
And it came to pass about ten days after, that Yahweh struck Nabal, so that he died. 
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Yahweh, that has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his slave from evil: and the evildoing of Nabal Yahweh has returned on his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife. 
And when the slaves of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife. 
And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Look, your slave is a slave to wash the feet of my lord's slaves. 
And Abigail hurried, and arose, and rode on a donkey, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife. 
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they became both of them his wives. 
Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
