1 Samuel 25:1-44

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the First Samuel Bible Study

with Matthew and Rachel. It's happening a lot later than

it normally does, but due to circumstances, you know, this

is the way it is. Before both of us start

to fade, before we start sundowning, because it's getting late

in the day, We need to jump on here really quick. So...

We suggest under such circumstances you eat popcorn.

Yeah.

So....

It is like... It is the diet grain. Popped popcorn

is like eating diet food.

So....

Never mind.

Depending on what you put on it. Right.

Exactly.

So.

We made references last week today that this was a

big one. Psalm 25 is a big one. It is

the end of the miraculously conceived Samuel. That's how this starts. Man,

so much here. This is pretty packed. And it doesn't,

it's really not about the death of Samuel. That's a

side note.

No, it's just kind of a side note. No, then

Samuel died.

But then it makes this great, huge transition. So, anyway,

what's your thoughts about this, Rach? I mean, this is

a big chapter. This is 44 verses.

Obviously talking about Preparing the way for the Christ.

For Jesus. Yep. And, wow, what do you make of Abigail?

I mean, you're wanting to liken her according to the promises, right?

You're wanting to liken her according to Sarah, right? And

then you had Rebecca, right?

She's the Gentiles, right?

Yeah, yes.

She was this other guy's husband. But then he died.

So she was married before.

So she was representing the Gentiles.

You could also look at this another way. As far

as the bride of Christ, you would liken this to

the clergy. Her first husband was the clergy. Anyway, we

won't go there. I don't want to make this too

difficult for people, but there's all kinds of information here.

And take note that in this wilderness place, in this stronghold,

is when the sheep get sheared.

Okay, so let's go ahead and just start in, because

I got a question about the first part.

Okay, go for it. Let me finish chewing.

Then Samuel died and the Israelites gathered together and lamented

for him and buried him at his home in Ramah.

And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

So what is the meaning of Paran? What do you mean?

What is the meaning of Paran?

You know, the meaning. What does the name mean?

Oh, you mean what is the etymology of the word?

Yeah.

Well, that's pretty interesting you would say that. A paran

here in Hebrew is H6290. It is a particular place

in Arabia. It was at the time. But it means

an ornament or to glitter. For the end? Well, that's

one way to put it, yeah. But that's pretty off

the hook that you would ask that right off the bat.

So yeah, it means ornament, ornamental. And God literally says

that he's going to adorn us on his garment. He

literally comes out and says that. So anyway, yeah, good

stuff to start out. So why don't you just continue on?

So before we start, I wanted to... Something made me

think of this. And I know it's not the only

movie that does this, but like.

You know Vin Diesel, The Pacifier? I don't know if

you even watch that because you don't like comedy movies, but.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, anyways, he's like a government agent there, sent there

to protect this family or whatever. Anyways, the bad guys

are trying to attack them at the end. But in

the beginning, there was this little song that the littlest...

So he was... The littlest child in the family so

he was there with all the kids so it's kind

of a comedy the whole time that it was also

like there was action and So there was this song

that he had to learn because the one little kid

wouldn't go to sleep unless he's saying a song Okay,

there was motions to it Well at the end of

the movie he realized the song was a code to

get into this safe room and that was inside the

house that nobody knew about, that the kid's dad had

taught them, but they didn't know that it was the

code until the end when they needed it. So this

reminds me a lot of prophecy that, you know, back

when the Pharisees and the scribes and everyone before Jesus came,

They knew all these scriptures, but they didn't know.

How important they were.

They didn't know what the real reason why they needed

to know these was until Christ came.

Until he came, yeah.

And so that's what this reminded me. I don't know

why I just happened to think of that movie. I

know it's a secular movie. I can't even remember if

there was anything bad in it that I was supposed

to be watching. I don't think there was.

Well, let me do this for you. So, I mean,

take note. So, you know how you would write this chapter, right?

How would you write the last verse? You'd go 1

Samuel 1 colon what? 44. 44. Yeah, 144. Okay, so

you're supposed to know the cadence of this is off

those of the miraculous conception.

Hmm, okay.

So I only said that because you said that. Okay,

so with that in mind, we better start getting reading.

So please continue.

Now there was a man in Mayon whose business was

in Carmel. and the man was very rich. He had

three thousand sheep and a thousand goats, and he was

shearing his sheep in Carmel. The name of the man

was Nabal, and the name of his wife was Abigail.

And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance,

But the man was harsh and evil in his doings.

He was of the house of Caleb. So this is

where he was sharing the sheep. So you're saying if

we were comparing this to what the Pharisees were doing

to the people in that time when Christ came, they

were literally... Shearing all the wool off the sheep. They

were taking from their own people.

That's what Ezekiel 34 says.

And being harsh and cruel to them.

Yes. Literally, Ezekiel 34 was being fulfilled in them.

And I know this is the English translation of the

name and everything. But I couldn't help but see the

play on words.

Nabal.

Abel, so he's the negative Abel.

You are incredible, you know that? Um, that's, um, that's

pretty incredible there. Um, I'm not going to add to

that or take away from it. Um, I mean, this

is just too packed to do any of those things, but, uh,

Take note. Okay. So I'm going to bring this to

light so you understand these ratios. So what was he doing?

He was shearing his sheep.

How many sheep?

A thousand. No.

Or 3,000.

Sorry.

3,000.

3,000 goats.

Was he shearing the goats too or just the sheep?

Can you let me ask the question? Because that's the question.

Okay.

So you don't shear goats.

Oh yeah, that's true.

So the goats were just hanging out. That's the whole point. Okay.

So prophetically, you need to understand there's 10,000 reasons why

Jesus Christ kept likening us to sheep. And during the

birth pangs, you all need to be aware of this.

The goats won't be they won't be in the process

of being sheared okay but they'll certainly be there with

you right so anyway um now why did it say

he was of the house of.

Caleb of the house of Caleb oh I don't know

why did it say that I saw that but I

don't know why okay Caleb and Joshua was the ones

that scouted out the promised land and they were the

two that didn't, you know, weren't scared and didn't take off.

Well, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a share

among the children of Judah according to the commandment of

the Lord of Joshua, namely, Kareth Arba, which is Hebron, Arba,

the father of Anak. Um, this is pretty well saying

that Caleb was not, he was not of the tribe

of Judah. He wasn't of the tribe, he wasn't a Jew. Okay?

So yeah, I know that's just an off-handed thing there,

but it's important.

Okay?

It is important that Caleb is mentioned.

Because that reinforces what I said earlier that Abigail was

a that represented the Gentiles.

Yes, absolutely. And that's how it is.

In the allegory. If we're looking at this as an allegory.

If we're looking at this as if it's a parable. Yes.

All right, continue on.

When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing

his sheep, David sent ten young men, Go up to Carmel,

go to Nabal, and greet him in my name. And

thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity,

Peace be to you, peace be to your house, and

peace to all that you have. Now I have heard

that you have shearers, the shepherds, here with us. And

we did not hurt them, nor was there anything missing

from them all the while they were in Carmel. Ask

your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore, let

my young men find favor in your eyes, for we

come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to

your hand to your servants and to your son David. So,

my young man and your young man, who does this represent?

Who do you think it represents?

Well, I was thinking 144,000. But is there an anti-144,000? Well,

what's the 144,000 going to do? They're going to rule

and reign with him. The clergy. Once again, the clergy. Okay.

I mean, they literally say right now they're ruling and

reigning for Jesus Christ. I mean, in blasphemy they say that,

but that is what they say.

Okay? So when David's young men came, they spoke to

Nabal according to all these words in the name of

David and waited. Then Nabal answered David's servants and said,

Who is David and who is is the son of Jesse.

There are many servants nowadays who break away each one

from his master.

Shall I then.

Take my bread and my water and my meat that

I have killed for my shearers and give it to

men when I do not know where they are from?

So David's young men turned on their heels and went back.

And they came and told him all these words. Then

David said to his men, Every man gird on his sword.

Let's get it on.

So every man girded on his sword. And David also

girded on his sword. And about 400 men went with David.

And 200 stayed with the supplies.

Boy, we keep getting numbers, don't we?

Yep, we keep getting numbers. This sounds to me like

the wrath of God when When Jesus came down to earth,

he's like, you know, you can either do this or

I'll settle up.

Yeah, let's settle up. So anyway, well, so take note

that the whole thing he said was one great big lie.

Let's talk about what Nabal actually said. He said, who

is David and who is the son of Jesse? Okay. Obviously,

he knew because he said that David, that's the son

of Jesse.

Okay.

Everything that comes out of his mouth is for contempt. That's,

I mean, he's making sure that you know. Okay.

But he considers David nothing.

Yes. He considers him less than nothing and Jesse. They're worthless.

So anyway, and blatantly said, because he knew David's son

of Jesse, he knew they were of the tribe of Judah.

They knew, don't be misled, Nabal knew exactly, exactly the

promises given to Abraham. Knew exactly the promises that that

Moses spoke in, you know, the blessings of Moses in

Genesis chapter 49. Everybody knew this was literally spitting on

Genesis 49 · chapter mention

the Messiah himself.

What's that verse? What is his name and what is

the name of his son?

What is that verse? What do you mean?

That says that. What is his name and what is

the name of his son?

Where is that found? Oh, you mean... I can't recall

off the top of my head. I'm thinking about this.

Okay.

But that just reminded me... Anyway, let's get back to this, okay?

Okay.

Nabal was... Okay. I already told you that Nabal was

from Caleb and Caleb was in Judah. He said this

for a reason. I am part of the non-Jews That

God has forced into Judah. He was literally smacking him

across the face. Do you understand? That's why I told you.

That Caleb was not a Jew. And he was given

a portion in the tribe of Judah. So literally Nabal

was spitting on him. In every way shape and form

he could. And David was like. He's a dead man.

Let's go settle up.

Right.

So now you understand that. David really was of the

tribe of Judah.

Right.

Really was supposed to be in the land of Judah,

here is Nabal, someone who was not a Jew, and

was occupying the land of Judah, spitting in the face

of someone who was. Now, you're not going to hear

this from a preacher. A preacher's not going to point

all this out to you. I mean, this is literally

Ezekiel 34 fulfilled. We're literally talking about the enemies of

God that have taken over control of his church. That's

literally what Nabal was saying. Now, Nabal is over Abigail.

And I said already, this is... parabolically, which parabolically means prophetically,

is talking about the bride of Christ. So, that's why

all this, that's why verses 10 and 11 is an

outright slap to all messianic prophecies. I mean this is

pretty serious.

So.

So David's like. Every man gird his sword. Oh man.

And David also girded his sword. Praise God. Let's rat

out these God haters. Let's put an end to this

son of a gun. So anyway. You're getting a call.

No I am. Better get it. So anyway. Know and

understand this is what this all is in effect. And prophetically,

Nabal is a perfect representation of what happens when the

man of sin makes his transition into the son of perdition. Okay?

That's what this is talking about. This is why Nabal

was from Caleb and Nabal had his, it was a false,

I mean, it wasn't a true inheritance. He wasn't a Jew,

but he was assigned land in Judah because of Caleb's faithfulness.

Caleb was one of the witnesses, people. Let me say

that again. Caleb was one of the two witnesses, Joshua

and Caleb, that went in spite of the promised land.

This is perfectly, this is categorically giving you parabolic information

about who you call the Antichrist. That's beside the point,

what he's called. The Bible calls him the beast from

the earth, but this is a perfect representation of him

in every way, shape, and form. So, this is pretty incredible.

If you've never heard 1 Samuel chapter 25, preached from

1 Samuel 25 · chapter mention

the pulpit from a parabolic perspective of prophecy, you never

understood what it meant. The enemies of God would have

never pointed out to you that, yeah, this was somebody

that had an inheritance in Judah but wasn't a Jew.

They'll never tell you that. They'll never bring up the

numbers here. They'll never bring up the goats. They'll never

point it out that he said, he specifically said, he

was shearing a sheep. There were 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats.

Have you ever heard it said, ever? Have you ever

heard it said from the pulpit, hey, what were the goats,

why were the goats mentioned? This got me in a

lot of trouble. When I was in Old Testament II

in an institution of higher learning, a Christian institution of

higher learning, I brought this up. Hey, why is the

goat mentioned? Professor had no idea.

Okay, I'm back. It was a cupcake emergency.

It was a cupcake emergency.

Really? Well.

Okay, so I have said what I'm going to say.

Why don't you continue reading? Verse 14. Okay.

Now, one of the young men... There's going to be

a lot of numbers coming up. Now, one of the

young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Look, David sent

messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, and he

reviled them. But the men were very good to us,

and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything,

as long as we were as kind. as long as

we accompanied them when we were in the fields. They

were a wall to us both night and day. All

the time we were with them keeping sheep. Now therefore,

no one consider what you will do. For harm is

determined against our master and against all of his household.

For he is such a scoundrel that no one, that

one cannot speak to him.

So, take note. So here we begin. So, which one

of the young men? Right?

Well, it's not one of the young men that David sent.

It's one of the other young men. So it's one

of Nabal's young men. One of Nabal's young men.

Just wanted to point that out. That one of the

young men, he's trying to point out to you young

men here pretty significantly, right? It was a young man,

not of David's. It was a fellow young man of

Naples that saved him, because by God, David was going

to wipe these scumbags from the faith of the earth,

praise God. He was going to wipe them out. So

he was going to take care of this.

Unrighteous occupier of Judah, he's going to wipe the slate clean.

I've got to say, it probably symbolizes John the Baptist.

You think? That's what I think. Yeah, this young man's important. Yes,

this young man's important. So anyway, your thoughts about that?

Or you can continue reading.

Well, there's something with the wall, but I think that's

for another time. Talking about the wall. They were a wall, too.

They were a wall around them. Just their mere presence

was commanding. No one dare touch these sheep shears. No

one dare. Not a wolf, not a.

Lion, not a... Not a serpent, not a scorpion.

Not a thief.

Nothing, nobody. Yes, that is extremely important.

They felt very safe.

Yes, they were safe. It was more than what... He

said they were secure. There's a difference between feeling safe

and being.

They couldn't have been safe. No.

Because God himself was surrounding them.

Yeah.

So, anyway, pick it back up, Rich.

Then Abigail made host. Made haste. I'm thinking about if

she's being a hostess. Then Abigail made haste, took 200 loaves.

Here we go again.

Two skins of wine. Five sheep already dressed. five seas

of roasted grain, and 100 clusters of raisins, and 200

cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.

Yep. And she said to her servant, Donkeys.

And she said to her servants, go on before me. See,

I am coming after you. But she did not tell

her husband Nabal. So she took stuff that wasn't hers

to give. To give to David.

Well, I mean, he was her.

And he... She knew that if he knew, he was

going to stop her, right? Yeah.

And everybody knew they were getting ready to die.

Yeah.

Yeah. So, anyway, you realize she is mimicking, she's mimicking,

she's mimicking what happened between Jacob and Esau. Remember when

Jacob was coming back and he sent the present ahead

of him? So Esau come across all these presents first

before he actually got to Jacob.

Remember?

So she knows what she's doing. Okay. She knows I

better make a buffer and get him thinking another way

because he's coming here to exterminate us. Praise God. He's

going to exterminate them. So Anyway, with that on mind,

go ahead.

So it was, as she rode on the donkey, that

she went down under cover of the hill. What? What

does that even mean? She went down. under cover of

the hill and there were David and his men coming

down toward her and she met them. Now David had said,

surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow

has in the wilderness so that nothing was missed. of

all that belongs to him, and he has repaid me

evil for good. May God do so, and more also,

to the enemies of David, if I leave one male

of all who belong to him by morning light.

By morning light. Okay, so this, of course, is talking

about twilight, the former twilight. And remember, the day begins

at sundown. So it's saying the twilight after the night.

And he said one male. He didn't care if it

was a toddler. He's going to exterminate them. So anyway,

I mean, David don't lie. And remember that David has

a heart after God's own heart. That's what the word says.

I don't care what the clergy says. So he's... He

saw red. And he was going to make red.

He literally wasn't. He was not in his right mind here.

He was in a rage.

Yeah, he was in a rage. And wrath of God

was coming down that hill. It was literally the wrath

of God.

Yep.

So anyway, so Abigail knows I better be stationary. So

there is a hill Between the residents. And the wilderness.

And she knows this hill. She knows instinctively. By God.

David is coming off the rails. He's not going around

a mountain. He's making a beeline. She knows that.

So.

She wants to be at the bottom of the hill.

When he comes up over it. She doesn't want to

be moving. She wants to be stationary. And David knows.

That he can just stampede right over her. That's what

she's expecting. That's why she stays spot. She stays still.

And because David has already had this wave of gifts,

David obviously don't care. He's coming anyway. So, very prophetic. So,

not going to one day buy morning luck. This is endgame.

This is endgame right here.

And all this with the donkey.

It's all parabolic. This is all solid, 100% prophecy.

You know, Balaam's donkey, Christ riding in on the donkey.

Yes.

All of the above.

Now when Abigail saw David, she dismounted quickly from the donkey,

fell down on her face before David, and and bowed

down to the ground. So she fell at his feet

and said, On me, my Lord, on me, let this

iniquity be. And please let your maidservant speak in your

ears and hear the words of your maidservant. So this

just reminds me of Christ. You know, she didn't do

anything wrong, but she's like.

She is literally laying down her life. She's telling him

that he can trample her.

Please let not the Lord, please not let my Lord

regard this scoundrel Nabal. For as his name is, so

is he. Nabal is his name and folly is with him. Okay,

so what does his name mean?

It means folly. Nabal means folly. Okay.

But I, your maidservant, did not see, did not see

the young men of my Lord whom you sent. Now therefore,

my Lord, as the Lord lives and as your soul lives,

since the Lord has held you back from coming to bloodshed,

from avenging yourself with your own hand, now then, let

your enemies and those who seek harm for my Lord

be as Nabal. And now, This present which your maidservant

has brought to my Lord, let it be given to

the young men who follow my Lord.

Once again, she makes sure to put in their young men.

Please forgive the trespass of your maidservant, for the Lord

will certainly make for my Lord. an enduring house, because

my Lord fights the battles of the Lord, and evil

is not found in you throughout your days. Yet a

man has risen to pursue you and seek your life,

but the soul of my Lord shall be bound in

the bundle of the living life. With the Lord your God.

What is that all about?

Oh, keep reading. It gets better.

And the lives of your enemies he shall sling out

as from the pocket of a sling. What? What is this?

They're going into the outer darkness, baby, kicking and screaming.

What about bound in the bundle?

Bound in the bundle.

Mm-hmm. So you know that you don't, is that the

swaddling clothes?

Well, don't you remember the, the, the prophecy where Jesus

Christ said, I'll gather the wheat into bundles and put

them in my barn and the rest off.

Oh, okay.

Okay. So, but yes, what you're talking about too, look, man,

there's so much information here. It's off the rails. Okay.

Let's do this. Um, Now you need to go ahead

and finish this. Go ahead and read till 32. Then

I'll tell you more.

And it shall come to pass when the Lord has

done for my Lord according to the good that he

has spoken concerning you and has appointed you ruler over

Israel that this will be no grief to you nor

offense of heart to my Lord either that you have

shed blood without cause, or that my Lord has avenged himself.

But when the Lord has dealt well with my Lord,

then remember your maidservant.

Oh, man. Holy cow.

What are those little things that they, those little instruments

they use to detect radiation.

Geiger counter?

So, like, if the prophecy level was compared to a

Geiger counter, like, it would just be, like, going off

like crazy right now.

So, did you pick up on how it said scoundrel

here in this version? She called Nabal a scoundrel. That's

not what it says in Hebrew. In Hebrew, it says

son of. Oh, yeah.

We're back to son of Bilal. Bilal. Whatever.

Yeah, very hard to pronounce.

Yeah.

So all of you know about when this is talked

about in the New Testament, right? There can be no

accord between Christ and Bilal, right?

Yeah.

This is saying this was a son of.

It was saying it was a son of....

He worshipped a demon.

That is to say, when you see that in the

New Testament, it's talking about Nabal and David. It's talking

about the difference between Nabal and David. So.

This is so incredibly parabolic. It's crazy. I mean, you

realize we could do an hour just on the alphanumerics here.

Just on that.

On the numbers.

Just on the numbers.

Like I'm saying, this is for another study. Like this

is for the next level study. Because this is basically

a 102 study. It's not 101. It's 102, but this

is like the advanced graduate level. I mean, you're talking

advanced graduate level stuff. This is like.

And Abigail says something next level. Here, let me read this.

But when the Lord has dealt well with my Lord.

So when God remembers you, then you remember me. And

David's like, do you have any idea what you're asking?

He's like, what?

He's talking, she's talking about Jesus. She just doesn't know

she's talking about Jesus.

She has no idea. She doesn't know that. And David

does know.

And it shall come to pass. The Lord has done

for my Lord. She's talking about. Our father in heaven.

Has done for Jesus. According to all the good. He

has spoken concerning you. And has appointed you ruler over Israel.

In that day.

In the day. Right. The great day of the Lord.

That this will be. No grief to you. Nor offense

to you. My Lord, either that you have shed blood

without cause, shed his blood without cause. So this is

talking about that verse that you read before, talking about

he who continues to sin willfully is talking about Christ's sacrifices,

something common. This is talking about this.

Right. So anyway, let me point this out. I'm going

to read one verse. What just came out of her

mouth is just like this verse. But Jesus said, let

her alone. She has kept for this day of my burial.

For the poor you will have always, but you will

not always have me. And remember, it's in this instance

that in other places he said, this woman will always

be remembered for what she's done. Where you get this

in parabolic prophecy is Abigail. That's what she was What

Jesus said of her is what Abigail was asking David

to do, and David knew it. He's like, holy cow, man.

You don't know what you're asking. The Messiah is coming

for me. You know what I'm saying? Just off the

rails to digest what is actually going on here. I mean,

it's enough to rattle your cage. And it's just, it's

just incredible. And it stops David in his tracks. So

when God fulfills his promise to me, you want me

to remember you. So anyway, it really puts this in context. Okay.

If you don't have anything else to say about it,

go ahead.

Then David said to Abigail, Blessed is the Lord God

of Israel who sent you this day to meet me.

And blessed is your advice. And blessed are you because

you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed

and from avenging myself with my own hand. For indeed,

as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has kept

me back from hurting you unless you had hurried. and

come to meet me, surely by morning light no males

would have been left to Nabal. So David received from

her hand what she had brought him, and said to her,

Go up in peace to your house. See, I have

heeded your voice and respected your person.

Crazy. Crazy. So, you know, wow, I don't even know

what to say else about this. I mean, this is

just off the hook incredible. So, Abigail has been granted

her wish. Holy crap, man. Why does nobody ever talk

about this? Yeah.

She didn't even know what she was asking.

She had no idea. She had no conceptual. She had

no way to calculate the math what she was asking.

But David did. David did know what she was asking.

Because he was God's anointed. He had the Holy Spirit

before it was a thing.

Yes, before it was a thing. So anyway, because of her,

God does avenge David instead of David avenging himself. So

now the promise is quadruply magnified. God says, I am

the avenger. I will avenge. That's what happens next. So

go ahead, buddy.

Now Abigail went to Nabal and there he was 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 the morning light.

Until the morning light.

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. Why did it say when the wine had

gone from him? Why did it say it like that?

The wine had gone from him. Was that talking about communion?

Rachel, this is You're talking about blasphemy. If you've been

born again and you know there's only one sin that

cannot be forgiven, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

Right.

Yeah, that's what it's talking about.

So this is talking about the end times when they

will blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

They will apostatize themselves.

Yes, they And then they will become like their hearts

will become hard? Yes. Is that what that means?

Yes, that's what it means.

Then it happened after about 10 days that the Lord

struck Nabal and he died. So when David heard that

Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord who

has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand

of Nabal and has kept his servant from evil. For

the Lord has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his

own head.

Now take note, we also need to get other prophecy

in here. Okay, this is in reference to the 10

days of testing, okay? So it was in the morning

that when wine had gone from Nabal, that he and

his wife had told him these things, that his heart

died within him, and he became like a stone. So

he goes into a coma, And after ten days, God

strikes him dead. So he lingers for ten days. Okay?

I just wanted to point that out. Okay, so.

The wickedness of Nabal, he returned it on his own head.

So what did Nabal say? What was the curse that

he said to the young men? Who is this David

and who is this son of Jesse? There are many

servants nowadays who break away each one from his master

shall I then take my bread and my water and

my meat that I have killed for my sheroes and

give it to the men who to men when I

do not know where they are from. So all of

his servants became David's servants.

Became all of this.

And they and his wife took him more than the

bread and the water. Yes.

And more importantly, this literally becomes fulfilled. He struck him

and he became like stone for 10 days. So what

killed him? He died of thirst or hunger? Because for

10 days, Nabal didn't eat or drink nothing.

Well, you can go 10 days without eating, but you

can't go 10 days without drinking anything.

What makes a hangover? Dehydration. All drunks know that if

you get a two liter of water or something and

drink it before you pass out, you won't have the

heavy headache. The headache is from dehydration.

Yeah, but you still wouldn't have lived 10 days, because

I think you can only do, oh, three days.

So anyway, so now you know that this is, in

every way, shape, and form, this is fulfilled, that he

went 10 days without eating.

He was basically catatonic.

Praise God. Yes.

Skip the tonic. Yep. All right.

So you're going to finish it up.

And David sent and proposed to Abigail to take her

as his wife. When the servants of David had come

to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her saying, David

sent us to you to ask you to become his wife.

Then she arose, bowed her face to the earth and said,

Here is your maid servant, a servant to wash the

feet of the servants of my Lord.

I told you. I told you before it happened.

So Abigail rose in haste and rode on a donkey

attended by five of her maidens. And she followed the

messengers of David and became his wife. David also took

Ahinoam of Jezreel, and so both of them were his wives.

But Saul had given Michal, his daughter, David's wife, to Palti,

the son of Laish, who was from Galen. What does

Ahinoam have to do with anything?

What do you mean?

Ahinoam of Jezreel. Like, why did he do that? Like,

was that another... Is that another woman that was there

in the group? What was that all about? Why does

it say that? Why did it say that? What did

that have to do.

With the story? Well, we'd have to do a deep

dive on all of that, right? Jezreel. Minimum. So, wow.

unfortunately it's been a long day.

And Hinoam was also the same name as Saul's wife.

But that couldn't have been the same person.

Um, um, so anyway, um, I mean, you had to

spill the beans there, right? You had to spill the beans.

I mean, why? And I tried to stop you and

you just wouldn't stop. Um, And the name of Saul's

wife was Ahinoam. So David just did this two birds

with one stone, didn't he? He not only did this to.

Nabal, honey, he did it to King Saul. Because now

relatives of King Saul's wife has become David's wife.

What? That means they're sisters or something?

Same family. Okay. Yeah, so anyway, and you got that

with the washing, right? What did Abigail say? Washing of

the feet. Does this not take you all the way

to the alabaster jar when.

Not the alabaster jar when Jesus washed the disciples' feet.

That, yes, that too, yes. It's off the hook. This

is literally one great big riddle. It's one great big parable.

But it really happened. All right. It's been a long day.

I could go on and on and on. I mean,

I could literally go on without ceasing about this chapter.

There's so much prophecy here. It's ridiculously redundant. If you

can't see it, you're blind as a bat. And you

don't want to see it. So... I mean, I could

do probably a couple hours just on the alphanumerics in

this chapter.

But bats can still hear. They have really good hearing. Yes,

they do. So if you're blind as a bat, maybe

you'll hear something from the Lord.

How did you know that's what I meant? Okay. All right, everybody.

That being said, until next time, God bless.

Godspeed.
