1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 25 Samuel dieth: David goeth to the wilderness of Paran, 1 Samuel 25:1. Nabal's riches, 1 Samuel 25:2. His and his wife Abigail's nature and condition, 1 Samuel 25:3. David requesteth of Nabal some relief for his camp: he entreateth David's messengers scornfully. David is provoked, and mindeth to destroy him, 1 Samuel 25:4. Abigail understands it, 1 Samuel 25:14; taketh a present, 1 Samuel 25:18; and by her wisdom, 1 Samuel 25:23, pacifieth David, 1 Samuel 25:32. Nabal hearing of this, dieth, 1 Samuel 25:36. David taketh Abigail and Ahinoam to be his wives, 1 Samuel 25:39; Saul having given Michal to Phalti, 1 Samuel 25:44. Buried him in his house, according to the manner of those times. See Genesis 23:9, Genesis 50:5 Matthew 27:60. The wilderness of Paran, in the southern borders of the land of Judah, that so when occasion served, he might retire out of Saul's dominions.
