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 The Lord will keep all his promises of good things for you. He will make you leader over Israel.

31 Then you won't feel guilty or troubled because you killed innocent people and punished them. Please remember me when the Lord brings you success."

32 David answered Abigail, "Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me.

33 May you be blessed for your wisdom. You have kept me from killing or punishing people today.

34 As surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, he has kept me from hurting you. If you hadn't come quickly to meet me, not one of Nabal's men would have lived until morning."
