SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:14
Y uno de los criados dio aviso a Abigail mujer de Nabal, diciendo: He aquí David envió mensajeros del desierto que saludasen a nuestro amo, y él los ha zaherido.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife , etc.] Not one of David’s young men, as what follows shows, but one of Nabal’s young men or servants, one of those David directs him to for the truth of what he said, ( 1 Samuel 25:8); this was one of those that had been employed in feeding sheep in the wilderness, where David was, and knew him, but was now at Carmel, and was present when David’s messengers came to Nabal, and was privy to what passed: saying, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master ; in a very kind and handsome manner, to ask of his peace and welfare, and to wish him all happiness and prosperity; or “masters” master and mistress, including both Nabal and Abigail: and he railed on them ; gave them very abusive language, represented David and his men as a parcel of scoundrels, fugitives, and runaway servants, ( 1 Samuel 25:10,11); or “he flew at them” f502 ; or “upon” them, in great wrath and fury, calling them hard names, bidding them begone about their business; the allusion is to a ravenous bird, which will fly at persons when it apprehends its young in any danger.
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!
