દાઉદ અને મુર્ખ નાબાલ

25 થોડા સમય બાદ શમુએલનું અવસાન થયું. સર્વ ઇસ્રાએલીઓ તેના દફન માંટે ભેગા થયા અને તેના અવસાન પર તેઓએ શોક જાહેર કર્યો, અને રામાંમાં તેને ઘરમાં દફનાવ્યો.

એ પછી દાઉદ પારાનના રણમાં ચાલ્યો ગયો. ત્યાં માંઓનમાં એક માંણસ રહેતો હતો, તે ઘણો ધનવાન હતો, તેની પાસે 3,000 ઘેટાઁ અને 1,000 બકરાં હતાં. તે કામેર્લમાં તેના ઘેટાઁના ઊન કાપવાની દેખરેખ કરી રહ્યો હતો. તેનું નામ નાબાલ હતું; અને તેની પત્નીનું નામ અબીગાઈલ હતું, તે ખૂબ રૂપાળી અને બુદ્ધિશાળી સ્ત્રી હતી. પરંતુ તેનો પતિ અસભ્ય અને તોછડો હતો. તે કાલેબ વંશનો હતો.

David och Abigail

David bröt upp och drog ner till öknen Paran. I Maon fanns då en man som hade sin boskapsskötsel i Karmel och den mannen var mycket rik. Han ägde tretusen får och ettusen getter. Och han höll på med fårklippning i Karmel. Mannen hette Nabal, och hans hustru hette Abigail. Hon var klok och vacker, han var hård och ond i allt han gjorde. Han var en ättling till Kaleb.

David Marries Abigail the Widow of Nabal

There was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. This man was very wealthy;[b] he owned 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats. At that time he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. The man’s name was Nabal,[c] and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was both wise[d] and beautiful, but the man was harsh and his deeds were evil. He was a Calebite.

Footnotes

  1. 1 Samuel 25:1 tc The LXX reads “Maon” here instead of “Paran,” perhaps because the following account of Nabal is said to be in Maon (v. 2). This reading is followed by a number of English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT). The MT, however, reads “Paran,” a location which would parallel this portion of David’s life with that of the nation Israel which also spent time in Paran (Num 10:12). Also, the desert of Paran was on the southern border of Judah’s territory and would be the most isolated location for hiding from Saul.
  2. 1 Samuel 25:2 tn Heb “great.”
  3. 1 Samuel 25:3 sn The name נָבָל (Nabal) means “foolish” or “senseless” in Hebrew, and as an adjective the word is used especially of persons who have no perception of ethical or religious claims. It is an apt name for this character, who certainly typifies such behavior.
  4. 1 Samuel 25:3 tn Heb “good of insight”; KJV “of good understanding”; NAB, NIV, TEV “intelligent”; NRSV “clever.”
