1 Samuel 25:33

33 bendito sea tu razonamiento, y bendita seas tú, que me has impedido hoy derramar sangre y vengarme por mi propia mano.

1 Samuel 25:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 25:33

And blessed [be] thy advice
Thanks be to God, and to thee for it, being wise, good, and seasonable; or "thy taste" ^F7, thy good sense, knowledge, as the Targum, discretion, prudence, and understanding: and blessed [be] thou which hast kept me this day from coming to [shed]
blood;
he came out with a full resolution to shed the blood of Nabal, and of all the males in his house, but was stopped by Abigail; who by her arguments so prevailed upon him as to cause him to desist from his design, and thankful he was to God for it; for though he had vowed he would destroy Nabal and his family, yet being a rash sinful vow, he saw it was better to break it than to keep it: and from avenging myself with mine own hand;
which to do would have been sinful, vengeance only belonging to God; and now he leaves it to him, and is very thankful that he was prevented doing it himself.

1 Samuel 25:33 In-Context

31 esto no causará pesar ni remordimiento a mi señor, tanto por haber derramado sangre sin causa como por haberse vengado mi señor. Cuando el SEÑOR haya hecho bien a mi señor, entonces acuérdate de tu sierva.

32 Entonces David dijo a Abigail: Bendito sea el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, que te envió hoy a encontrarme,

33 bendito sea tu razonamiento, y bendita seas tú, que me has impedido hoy derramar sangre y vengarme por mi propia mano.

34 Sin embargo, vive el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, que me ha impedido hacerte mal, que si tú no hubieras venido pronto a encontrarme, ciertamente, para la luz del alba, no le hubiera quedado a Nabal ni un varón.

35 Recibió David de su mano lo que ella había traído y le dijo: Sube en paz a tu casa. Mira, te he escuchado y te he concedido tu petición.
