Paul LeBoutillierHOST
We've been out in the field with your shepherds watching over your sheep.
Paul LeBoutillierHOST
We've made sure nothing happened, so why don't you send a little blessing our way? And you remember that was the man Nabal.
Paul LeBoutillierHOST
Remember? And Nabal, who was a surly, mean old coot, sent a message back with David's men saying, essentially, forget it, buddy.
Paul LeBoutillierHOST
You're not getting anything of mine.
Paul LeBoutillierHOST
And you'll remember what David did.
Paul LeBoutillierHOST
He said to his men, strap on your swords, boys.
Paul LeBoutillierHOST
We're going to go pay Nabal a visit.
Paul LeBoutillierHOST
And...
speaker_6NARRATOR
His men needed to see that their cause was just, that their leader was worthy, that their suffering had purpose.
speaker_6NARRATOR
This is why the insult from Nabal cut so deeply.
speaker_6NARRATOR
It wasn't just a personal affront to David.
speaker_6NARRATOR
It was an attack on the entire enterprise, a public declaration that David and his men were worthless, that their protection meant nothing, that they deserved no respect or consideration.
speaker_6NARRATOR
With honour, they were a kingdom waiting to be born.
speaker_6NARRATOR
Chapter 2.
speaker_6NARRATOR
The Wealthy Fool Not far from where David and his men made their camp, in the fertile regions where the wilderness gave way to cultivated land, there lived a man named Nabal.
speaker_6NARRATOR
His name meant fool, and seldom has a name been more prophetically appropriate.
Kyle SefcikHOST
But this is a chapter, 1 Samuel 25, that, I mean, I don't know if it's read that much that people really talk about enough.
Kyle SefcikHOST
And it's about Nabal and Abigail.
Kyle SefcikHOST
And you see this wisdom in this woman and this foolishness in this guy Nabal, N-A-B-A-L, N-A-B-A-L. Jason said, it said he didn't know her, which means no physical.
Kyle SefcikHOST
That's what it was, Jay.
Kyle SefcikHOST
Thank you.
Stephen MeeHOST
And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household.
Stephen MeeHOST
And David with his two wives, Abinoam of Jezreel, Abigail of Carmel, Nabal's widow.
Stephen MeeHOST
And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he no longer sought him.
Stephen MeeHOST
Then David said to Achish, If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given me in one of the country towns that I may dwell there.
Austin GarrettHOST
I think that the way you sounded that and made that appeal sounds an awful lot like Abigail.
Austin GarrettHOST
And she dealt with a churlish, angry, petty Nabal.
Austin GarrettHOST
But nothing was to be done about that.
Austin GarrettHOST
But David could be appealed to.
Stuart SandersHOST
David said, to which shall I go? And he said to Hebron.
Stuart SandersHOST
So David went up there and his two wives also, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, a daughter of Nabal of Carmel, the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
Stuart SandersHOST
And David brought up his men who were with him, everyone with his household, and they lived in the towns of Hebron.
Stuart SandersHOST
The first act of David as king, Saul is gone, he's rightly mourned.
Lisa LaizureHOST
He had 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
Lisa LaizureHOST
The man's name was Nabal and his wife's name was Abigail and she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful, but the man was rough and evil in his doings and he was a Calebite.
Lisa LaizureHOST
Now, thankfully, I put pictures in your handout.
Lisa LaizureHOST
Okay? They're not colored, they would have been colored had they been on the screen, but it's kind of cute.
Lisa LaizureHOST
Okay, that's how I picture Nabal.
Lisa LaizureHOST
He's got his wife beater on, he's got his like, you know, his bottle of beer, and he looks like he's about ready to slap his wife, like he's just a total jerk, okay? And he apparently drinks all the time, and so this just makes him kind of ugly.
Lisa LaizureHOST
Now speaking of drinking, I thought this was funny.
Lisa LaizureHOST
And the setting for this scene is in Carmel.
Kanoe GibsonHOST
Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no more strength to weep.
Kanoe GibsonHOST
David's two wives had also been taken captive, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
Kanoe GibsonHOST
And David was greatly distressed for the people spoke of stoning him because all the people were bitter in soul.
Kanoe GibsonHOST
Isn't that interesting? Now they're coming against him, each for his sons and daughters, but David strengthened himself in the Lord, his God.
Sean FinneganHOST
Did Abigail think David was God? No, of course not.
Sean FinneganHOST
She thought he was a tough guy who might potentially kill her husband and all of the people in the household because he was so angry about the insult of her husband Nabal.
Sean FinneganHOST
Let's look at another one.
Sean FinneganHOST
First Chronicles 29 20.
KaylaHOST
Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and many other countries.
KaylaHOST
Deuteronomy 17, right? The rest of the events of Solomon's reign, from beginning to end, are recorded in the record of Nathan the prophet and the prophecy of Ahijah from Shiloh, and also in the vision of Edo the seer concerning Jeroboam, son of Nabal.
KaylaHOST
Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over all Israel for 40 years.
KaylaHOST
When he died, he was buried in the city of David, named for his father.
