1 Samuel 25:6

6 Assim lhe direis: Paz seja contigo, e com a tua casa, e com tudo o que tens.

1 Samuel 25:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 25:6

And thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in prosperity]
That lives, while others, as David and his men, might be rather said to starve than live; they lived in great meanness, but he in great abundance, and therefore in a capacity to give to others, and particularly to relieve them: or the sense is, they should say to him, "thus" shall it be, or may it be "for life": for the time of life, for the year to come; at this time next year, at next sheep shearing, mayest thou be in as great prosperity then as now, and even all the days of thy life:

peace [be] both to thee, and peace [be] to thine house, and peace [be]
unto all that thou hast;
that is, all prosperity to thy person in soul and body, to thy family, wife, children and servants, and let the same attend thy estate, cattle, farms, fields, vineyards, and all that belong to thee; and wish for a blessing on him, and his, and all that were his, or he had; a more extensive one could not well be made.

1 Samuel 25:6 In-Context

4 Ouviu Davi no deserto que Nabal tosquiava as suas ovelhas,
5 e enviou-lhe dez mancebos, dizendo-lhes: Subi ao Carmelo, ide a Nabal e perguntai-lhe, em meu nome, como está.
6 Assim lhe direis: Paz seja contigo, e com a tua casa, e com tudo o que tens.
7 Agora, pois, tenho ouvido que tens tosquiadores. Ora, os pastores que tens acabam de estar conosco; agravo nenhum lhes fizemos, nem lhes desapareceu coisa alguma por todo o tempo que estiveram no Carmelo.
8 Pergunta-o aos teus mancebos, e eles to dirão. Que achem, portanto, os teus servos graça aos teus olhos, porque viemos em boa ocasião. Dá, pois, a teus servos e a Davi, teu filho, o que achares � mão.
