1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 25



Samuel dieth: David goeth to the wilderness of Paran, 1Sa_25:1. Nabal’s riches, 1Sa_25:2. His and his wife Abigail’s nature and condition, 1Sa_25:3. David requesteth of Nabal some relief for his camp: he entreateth David’s messengers scornfully. David is provoked, and mindeth to destroy him, 1Sa_25:4-13. Abigail understands it, 1Sa_25:14-17; taketh a present, 1Sa_25:18-22; and by her wisdom, 1Sa_25:23-31, pacifieth David, 1Sa_25:32-35. Nabal hearing of this, dieth, 1Sa_25:36-38. David taketh Abigail and Ahinoam to be his wives, 1Sa_25:39-43; Saul having given Michal to Phalti, 1Sa_25:44.



Buried him in his house, according to the manner of those times. See Gen_23:9 50:5 Mat_27:60. The wilderness of Paran, in the southern borders of the land of Judah, that so when occasion served, he might retire out of Saul’s dominions.
