Delight H8588 is not seemly H5000 for a fool; H3684 much H637 less for a servant H5650 to have rule H4910 over princes. H8269

A poor H7326 man H1397 that oppresses H6231 the poor H1800 is like a sweeping H5502 rain H4306 which leaves no H369 food. H3899

I have seen H7200 servants H5650 on horses, H5483 and princes H8269 walking H1980 as servants H5650 on the earth. H776

And I will give H5414 children H5288 to be their princes, H8269 and babes H8586 shall rule H4910 over them.

And the people H5971 shall be oppressed, H5065 every H376 one H376 by another, and every H376 one H376 by his neighbor: H7453 the child H5288 shall behave H7292 himself proudly H7292 against the ancient, H2204 and the base H7034 against the honorable. H3519

Now H6258 the name H8034 of the man H376 was Nabal; H5037 and the name H8034 of his wife H802 Abigail: H26 and she was a woman H802 of good H2896 understanding, H7922 and of a beautiful H3303 countenance: H8389 but the man H376 was churlish H7186 and evil H7451 in his doings; H4611 and he was of the house H1004 of Caleb. H3612

And Nabal H5037 answered H6030 David's servants, H5650 and said, H559 Who H4310 is David? H1732 and who H4310 is the son H1121 of Jesse? H3448 there be many H7231 servants H5650 now a days H3117 that break H6555 away every man H376 from his master. H113

Shall I then take H3947 my bread, H3899 and my water, H4325 and my flesh H2878 that I have killed H2873 for my shearers, H1494 and give H5414 it to men, H582 whom H834 I know H3045 not from where H834 H2088 they be?

Let not my lord, H113 I pray H4994 you, regard H3820 this H2088 man H376 of Belial, H1100 even Nabal: H5037 for as his name H8034 is, so H3651 is he; Nabal H5037 is his name, H8034 and folly H5039 is with him: but I your handmaid H519 saw H7200 not the young H5288 men of my lord, H113 whom H834 you did send. H7971

And Abigail H26 came H935 to Nabal; H5037 and, behold, H2009 he held H2790 a feast H4960 in his house, H1004 like the feast H4960 of a king; H4428 and Nabal's H5037 heart H3820 was merry H2896 within H5921 him, for he was very H5704 H3966 drunken: H7910 why she told H5046 him nothing, H3808 H1697 less H6996 or more, H1419 until H5704 the morning H1242 light. H216

And it came H1961 to pass about ten H6235 days H3117 after, that the LORD H3068 smote H5062 Nabal, H5037 that he died. H4191

And when he had brought H3381 him down, H3381 behold, H2009 they were spread H5203 abroad H5203 on all H3605 the earth, H776 eating H398 and drinking, H8354 and dancing, H2287 because of all H3605 the great H1419 spoil H7998 that they had taken H3947 out of the land H776 of the Philistines, H6430 and out of the land H776 of Judah.
