1 Samuel 25:35 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 25:35

So David received of her hand [that] which she had brought
him
Her present, ( 1 Samuel 25:18 ) ; and which he kindly took for his own use, as well as for his men; for it was a present for a prince: and said to her, go up in peace to thine house;
in peace of mind, having her request granted, and nothing to fear from David and his men, and so might return home with the greatest safety in her own person, with those that were with her, and be under no apprehensions of danger and destruction to Nabal and his family: see, I have hearkened to thy voice;
to her arguments and reasonings, which were powerful; to her petitions, which were granted; and to her good counsel and advice, which he took: and have accepted thy person:
done as she desired, forgave the offence, and so lifted her up, as the word signifies, and made her countenance cheerful; received her present kindly, and took well all she said and did; and promised to grant her, for the future, anything that lay in his power, whenever she should apply to him, see ( Job 42:8 Job 42:9 ) .

1 Samuel 25:35 In-Context

33 ¡Gracias a Dios por tu buen juicio! Bendita seas, pues me has impedido matar y llevar a cabo mi venganza con mis propias manos.

34 Juro por el Señor
, Dios de Israel, quien me ha librado de hacerte daño, que si no te hubieras apresurado a venir a mi encuentro, mañana por la mañana ninguno de los hombres de Nabal habría quedado con vida.

35 Entonces David aceptó su regalo y le dijo:
—Vuelve a tu casa en paz. Escuché lo que dijiste y no mataremos a tu esposo.

36 Cuando Abigail llegó a su casa, encontró a Nabal dando una gran fiesta digna de un rey. Estaba muy borracho, así que no le dijo nada sobre su encuentro con David hasta el amanecer del día siguiente.

37 Por la mañana, cuando Nabal estaba sobrio, su esposa le contó lo que había sucedido. Como consecuencia tuvo un derrame cerebral
y quedó paralizado en su cama como una piedra.
