1 Samuel 25:34 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 25:34

For in very deed, [as] the Lord God of Israel liveth
An oath for the confirmation of what he was about to say: which hath kept me back from hurting thee:
from doing any ill to her family, as he intended, though not to her person, his resolution being only to slay the males; but that would have been an hurt, an evil, an affliction to Abigail, from which the Lord in his providence restrained him, and that through her good advice: except thou hadst hasted, and come to meet me:
if she had not made quick dispatch in preparing her present, or had stayed to persuade her husband into her measures; if she had delayed a little longer, David would have been at Nabal's house, executing his vengeance on him and his: surely there had not been left unto Nabal, by the morning light, any
that pisseth against the wall: (See Gill on 1 Samuel 25:22).

32 David le dijo entonces a Abigaíl:—¡Bendito sea el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, que te ha enviado hoy a mi encuentro!
33 ¡Y bendita seas tú por tu buen juicio, pues me has impedido derramar sangre y vengarme con mis propias manos!
34 El SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, me ha impedido hacerte mal; pero te digo que si no te hubieras dado prisa en venir a mi encuentro, para mañana no le habría quedado vivo a Nabal ni uno solo de sus hombres. ¡Tan cierto como que el SEÑOR vive!
35 Dicho esto, David aceptó lo que ella le había traído.—Vuelve tranquila a tu casa —añadió—. Como puedes ver, te he hecho caso: te concedo lo que me has pedido.
36 Cuando Abigaíl llegó a la casa, Nabal estaba dando un regio banquete. Se encontraba alegre y muy borracho, así que ella no le dijo nada hasta el día siguiente.
