SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:16
Nos han sido por muro de día y de noche, todos los días que hemos apacentando las ovejas con ellos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. They were a wall unto us both by night and day , etc.] Protecting and defending them against the Philistines, who, as they robbed the threshing floors of Keilah, would have plundered the flocks of Nabal; or it may be rather against the incursions of the Arabs in the wilderness of Paran, the posterity of Ishmael, who lived by plunder, and against the wild beasts of the desert, who otherwise would have carried off many of their sheep and lambs, by night or by day: all the while we were with them keeping the sheep ; all which showed how reasonable it was that Nabal should have used them well, and given them a portion of his entertainment at his sheep shearing; for had it not been for them, he would not have had so many sheep to shear as he had.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-17 - God is kind to the evil and unthankful, and why may not we be so? Davi determined to destroy Nabal, and all that belonged to him. Is this the voice, O David? Has he been so long in the school of affliction, wher he should have learned patience, and yet is so passionate? He at othe times was calm and considerate, but is put into such a heat by a fe hard words, that he seeks to destroy a whole family. What are the bes of men, when God leaves them to themselves, that they may know what is in their hearts? What need to pray, Lord, lead us not into temptation!
