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 cum ergo fecerit tibi Dominus domino meo omnia quae locutus est bona de te et constituerit te ducem super Israhel

31 non erit tibi hoc in singultum et in scrupulum cordis domino meo quod effuderis sanguinem innoxium aut ipse te ultus fueris et cum benefecerit Dominus domino meo recordaberis ancillae tuae

32 et ait David ad Abigail benedictus Dominus Deus Israhel qui misit te hodie in occursum meum et benedictum eloquium tuum

33 et benedicta tu quae prohibuisti me hodie ne irem ad sanguinem et ulciscerer me manu mea

34 alioquin vivit Dominus Deus Israhel qui prohibuit me malum facere tibi nisi cito venisses in occursum mihi non remansisset Nabal usque ad lucem matutinam mingens ad parietem
