And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword; and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.

And one of [supplied: Nabal's] young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted them.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to her; and she met them.

אֹתָֽם׃ (אֹתָֽ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

Now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this [supplied: man] had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited me evil for good.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [supplied: upon] me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy handmaid.

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And if a man is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the sling.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֵ֨ת (אֵ֨ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler over Israel,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

that this shall be no stumbling-block to thee, nor offence of heart for my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall deal well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male.

So David received of her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

אֵ֥ת 'et “<obj.>”

And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became [supplied: as] a stone.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And it came to pass in about ten days that Jehovah smote Nabal, and he died.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his wife.

David had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay within the wagon-defence, and the people were encamped round about him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Abishai said to David, God has delivered thine enemy into thy hand this day; and now let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear, even to the ground once, and I will not do it the second time.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Jehovah forbid that I should stretch forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed! But now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head; and they went away, and no man saw [supplied: it], and none knew [supplied: it], and none awaked, for they were all asleep; for a deep sleep from Jehovah had fallen upon them.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And David said to Abner, Art not thou a man? and who is like to thee in Israel? and why hast thou not guarded thy lord the king? for one of the people came in to destroy the king thy lord.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

This thing is not good which thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not guarded your master, Jehovah's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
