24 Cayó a sus pies y le dijo:
—Toda la culpa es mía en este asunto, mi señor. Por favor, escuche lo que tengo que decir.

1 Samuel 25:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 25:24

And fell at his feet
As an humble supplicant, having a favour to ask of him; it is very probable David was on foot:

and said, upon me, my lord, [upon] me [let] this iniquity [be];
which her husband had been guilty of; she desires it might be transferred from him to her, and be reckoned as if done by her; she would have it imputed to herself, and all the blame lie upon her, and the punishment for it be inflicted on her; for iniquity may be put for the punishment of iniquity: this was very artfully said, as well as expressed great affection for her husband, and care of his life; for she knew, if she could get the fault removed from him to her, she would be able to vindicate herself, and her innocence would soon appear; nor would this strong affection for her husband fail of answering some good purpose, as she full well knew:

and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience and hear
the words of thine handmaid:
as it was but reasonable she should be heard, since she stood now as the criminal, taking all the blame of her husband's conduct on herself.

1 Samuel 25:24 In-Context

22 ¡Que Dios me castigue y me mate
si tan solo un hombre de su casa queda con vida mañana por la mañana!».

23 Abigail intercede por Nabal
Cuando Abigail vio a David, enseguida bajó de su burro y se inclinó ante él hasta el suelo.

24 Cayó a sus pies y le dijo:
—Toda la culpa es mía en este asunto, mi señor. Por favor, escuche lo que tengo que decir.

25 Sé que Nabal es un hombre perverso y de mal genio; por favor, no le haga caso. Es un necio, como significa su nombre.
Pero yo ni siquiera vi a los hombres que usted envió.

26 »Ahora, mi señor, tan cierto como que el Señor
vive y que usted vive, ya que el Señor
impidió que usted matara y tomara venganza por su propia mano, que todos sus enemigos y los que intenten hacerle daño sean tan malditos como lo es Nabal.
