<strong>The</strong> name Nabal means "churl". Webster's definition of “churl” means "a rude, ill-bredperson, or stingy morose person." To be churlish means to be vulgar, ill-natured, anddifficult to work with or deal with.Abigail referred to her husband as a "man of <strong>Belial</strong>". She knew that her husband wasunapproachable and that no one could speak to him. <strong>The</strong> Rotherham translation says:"he is such an abandoned man, that one cannot speak to him."<strong>The</strong> Basic English version says: "he is such a good-for-nothing person.” <strong>The</strong> Knowversion says, "he is so cross-grained a man that there is no reasoning with him.” <strong>The</strong>word "cross-grained" means difficult to deal with.As much as we like to see good in everyone, there are unfortunately people in the worldlike Nabal. Can you imagine what Abigail had to deal with being married to this man? Itwas only because of her wisdom that her life and the lives of her loved ones weresaved. She is an example of the power of intercession.1 Samuel 25:38 “<strong>And</strong> it came to pass about ten days after, that the Lord smote Nabal,and he died.”<strong>The</strong> American Translation says: "the Lord inflicted a stroke upon." This was after Nabalheld a feast in his home, like the feast of a king. He was a stingy, selfish, and irreverentman. He did not respect the anointing upon King David. <strong>The</strong> Lord's judgment cameupon him, and he died. David stated: "… for the Lord hath returned the wickedness ofNabal upon his own head" (1 Samuel 25:39).k. <strong>Belial</strong>: Cursing God’s Anointed2 Samuel 16:5-7 “<strong>And</strong> when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out aman of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: hecame forth, and cursed still as he came. <strong>And</strong> he cast stones at David, and at all theservants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right handand on his left <strong>And</strong> thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloodyman, and thou man of <strong>Belial</strong> …”Shimei was calling king David a worthless man. <strong>The</strong> Basic English version says: "Yougood for nothing.” David was fleeing from his rebellious son, Absalom, when heencountered Shimei.Shimei was from the family of the house of Saul and was no doubt angry at the fact thatDavid had succeeded Saul as king. This is just like the enemy to accuse God'sanointed. <strong>The</strong> Pharisees said Jesus cast out devils by Beelzebub.116
<strong>The</strong>y were accusing him of using Satan's power to deliver people. To call someone a"man of <strong>Belial</strong>" is to call them worthless, no good, wicked, base and vile.Shimei was accusing David of being a rebellious murderer who was responsible forSaul's fall. This is another example of how this spirit will attack and accuse the Lord'sanointed.2 Samuel 19:21 “But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimeibe put to death for this, BECAUSE HE CURSED THE LORD'S ANOINTED?”After David was returned to his position in Jerusalem, Shimei came to him and repentedof what he said. Abishai desired to have him put to death for cursing the Lord'sanointed. David, however, had mercy upon Shimei and did not put him to death.David understood the judgment that would come upon those who touched the Lord'sanointed. He refused to touch Saul even though his life was in danger. <strong>In</strong> the case ofShimei, mercy prevailed even judgment because of Shimei's repentant attitude.Strong intercessors help cover the men and women of God from the attacks of<strong>Belial</strong>. A curse is an evil word spoken against a person or a thing. Words spokenagainst the servants of God are spiritual arrows sent by the enemy to hurt and destroy.<strong>The</strong>y are what the Word refers to as the 'very darts of the wicked" (Ephesians 6:16).David understood the spiritual warfare the Lord's anointed must face when men curse.David prays in Psalm 64:2-3,"Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers ofiniquity. Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows,even bitter words …"<strong>The</strong>se words are witchcraft attacks against the servants of the Lord. <strong>The</strong>y are spiritualmissiles directed towards the Lord's anointed. Life and death are in the power of thetongue (Proverbs18:21). This is one of the methods <strong>Belial</strong> uses to direct his assaultagainst the servants of the Lord.l. <strong>Belial</strong>: Un-thoughtful <strong>And</strong> <strong>In</strong>considerate1 Samuel 30:22 “<strong>The</strong>n answered all the WICKED MEN AND MEN OF BELIAL, ofthose that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not givethem ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and hischildren, that they may lead them away, and depart.”117
