2 For you yourselves know perfectly that (A)the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then (B)sudden destruction comes upon them, (C)as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 (D)But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all (E)sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 (F)Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but (G)let us watch and be [a]sober. 7 For (H)those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk (I)are drunk at night.

16 So they went out at noon. Meanwhile Ben-Hadad and the thirty-two kings helping him were (A)getting drunk at the command post. 17 The young leaders of the provinces went out first. And Ben-Hadad sent out a patrol, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out of Samaria!” 18 So he said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; and if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
19 Then these young leaders of the provinces went out of the city with the army which followed them. 20 And each one killed his man; so the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the cavalry. 21 Then the king of Israel went out and attacked the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 And the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself; take note, and see what you should do, (B)for [a]in the spring of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.”

Now Ben-Hadad had dispatched scouts, who reported, “Men are advancing from Samaria.”
18 He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
19 The junior officers under the provincial commanders marched out of the city with the army behind them 20 and each one struck down his opponent. At that, the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-Hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with some of his horsemen. 21 The king of Israel advanced and overpowered the horses and chariots and inflicted heavy losses on the Arameans.
22 Afterward, the prophet(B) came to the king of Israel and said, “Strengthen your position and see what must be done, because next spring(C) the king of Aram will attack you again.”

33 And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have (A)kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand. 34 For indeed, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has (B)kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely (C)by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!” 35 So David received from her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, (D)“Go up in peace to your house. See, I have heeded your voice and (E)respected your person.”
36 Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, (F)holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light. 37 So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone. 38 Then it happened, after about ten days, that the Lord (G)struck Nabal, and he died.

35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him and said, “Go home in peace. I have heard your words and granted(C) your request.”
36 When Abigail went to Nabal, he was in the house holding a banquet like that of a king. He was in high(D) spirits and very drunk.(E) So she told(F) him nothing at all until daybreak. 37 Then in the morning, when Nabal was sober, his wife told him all these things, and his heart failed him and he became like a stone.(G) 38 About ten days later, the Lord struck(H) Nabal and he died.
