1 Samuel 25:32 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 25:32

And David said to Abigail
Having heard her out, and being overcome with her rhetoric and powerful arguments:

blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet
me;
who put it into her heart to come out and meet him, and endeavour to avert him from his bad design, which his heart was set upon; he saw plainly the hand of God in it, and in the first place acknowledges the goodness of divine Providence, in directing her to take the step she did.

1 Samuel 25:32 In-Context

30 And when the Lord has done all the good things he has promised you and has made you king of Israel,

31 then you will not have to feel regret or remorse, sir, for having killed without cause or for having taken your own revenge. And when the Lord has blessed you, sir, please do not forget me."

32 David said to her, "Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!

33 Thank God for your good sense and for what you have done today in keeping me from the crime of murder and from taking my own revenge.

34 The Lord has kept me from harming you. But I swear by the living God of Israel that if you had not hurried to meet me, all of Nabal's men would have been dead by morning!"
