words, saying, See, Dawid seeks your hurt?
10 See, this day your eyes have seen how vuvh has
delivered you today into my hand in the cave: and some
urged me to kill you: but my eye spared you; and I said, I
will not put forth my hand against my master; for he is
vuvh's anointed.
11 Moreover, my abba, see the corner of your robe in my
hand: for in that I cut off the corner of your robe and
killed you not, now you know and see that there is neither
evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned
against you; yet you hunt my chayim to take it.
12 vuvh judge between us, and vuvh avenge me from you:
but my own hand shall not be upon you.
13 As says the mishle of the ancients, Wickedness
proceeds from the wicked: but my hand shall not be upon
you.
14 After whom is the melech of Yisrael come out? After
whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, or after a flea?
15 vuvh therefore is Shophet, and He will judge between
me and you, and see, and I will plead my cause, to be
delivered out of your hand.
16 And it came to pass, when Dawid had made an end of
speaking these words to Shaul, that Shaul said, Is this
your voice, my son Dawid? And Shaul lifted up his voice,
and wept.
17 And he said to Dawid, You are more tzadik than I: for
you have rewarded me tov, whereas I have rewarded you
evil.
18 And you have shown me this day how that you have
dealt well with me: seeing that when vuvh had delivered
me into your hand, you killed me not.
19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away
whole? Therefore vuvh reward you tov for what you have
done to me this day.
20 And now, see, I know well that you shall surely be
melech, and that the malchut of Yisrael shall be
established in your hand.
21 Swear now therefore to me by vuvh, that you will not
cut off my zera after me, and that you will not destroy my
name out of my abba's bayit.
22 And Dawid swore to Shaul. And Shaul went home; but
Dawid and his men went up to the stronghold.
25
And Schmuel died; and all the Yisraelites were
gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in
his bayit at Ramah. And Dawid arose, and went down to
the wilderness of Paran.
2 And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were
in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three
thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was
shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3 Now the name of the man was Naval; and the name of
his wife Avigail: and she was a woman of tov binah, and
of a beautiful appearance: but the man was hardened and
evil in his doings; and he was of the bayit of Kalev.
4 And Dawid heard in the wilderness that Naval did shear
his sheep.
5 And Dawid sent out ten young men, and Dawid said to
the young men, Get up to Carmel, and go to Naval, and
greet him in my name:
6 And say to him that lives in prosperity, Shalom be both
to you, and shalom be to your bayit, and shalom be
to all that you have.
SCHMUEL ALEF - FIRST SAMUEL
- 204 -
7 And now I have heard that you have shearers: now your
shepherds that were with us, we hurt them not, neither
was there anything missing to them, all the while they
were in Carmel.
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let the
young men find favor in your eyes: for we come in a tov
day: give, I ask you, whatever comes to your hand to your
avadim, and to your son Dawid.
9 And when Dawid's young men came, they spoke to
Naval according to all those words in the name of Dawid,
and waited.
10 And Naval answered Dawid's avadim, and said, Who
is Dawid? And who is the son of Yishai? There are many
avadim nowadays that break away every man from his
master.
11 Shall I then take my lechem, and my mayim, and my
food that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men,
whom I know not from where they are?
12 So Dawid's young men turned their way, and went
again, and came and told him all those sayings.
13 And Dawid said to his men, Put on every man his
sword. And they put on every man his sword; and Dawid
also put on his sword: and there went up after Dawid
about four hundred men; and two hundred stayed by the
baggage.
14 But one of the young men told Avigail, Naval's wife,
saying, See, Dawid sent messengers out of the wilderness
to greet our master; and he railed at them.
15 But the men were very tov to us, and we were not hurt,
neither did we miss anything, as long as we were
accompanying them, when we were in the fields:
16 They were like a wall to us both by night and day, all
the time we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 Now therefore know and consider what you will do;
for evil is determined against our master, and against all
his household: for he is such a son of Beliyaal, that a man
cannot even speak to him.
18 Then Avigail hurried, and took two hundred loaves,
and two bottles of wine, and five sheep made ready, and
five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of
raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on
donkeys.
19 And she said to her avadim, Go before me, and I will
come after you. But she told it not to her husband Naval.
20 And it was so, as she rode on the donkey, that she
came down under the cover of the hill, and, see, Dawid
and his men came down toward her; and she met them.
21 Now Dawid had said, Surely for nothing have I kept
all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing
was missed of all that pertained to him: and he has repaid
me evil for tov.
22 Let Elohim do this and even more to the enemies of
Dawid, if I leave even one adult man to him by the
morning light.
23 And when Avigail saw Dawid, she hurried, and got off
the donkey, and fell before Dawid on her face, and bowed
herself to the ground,
24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my master,
upon me let this iniquity be: and let your female eved, I
beg you, speak in your hearing, and hear the words of
your female eved.
25 Let not my master, I beg you, regard this man of
Beliyaal, even Naval: for as his name is, so is he; Naval is
