Discuss 1 Samuel 25

"And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast." 1 Samuel 25:6 KJV

I pray for Jessica's peace, that the peace of God will surround Jessica right now and always. I pray for peace with Jessica's family and that God, neutralize all negative behaviors, right now in Jesus Christ Name. I pray that peace be multiplied and that the God of peace cease and desist anything that is not pleasing to Him in this situation. I pray that God pours His peace, love and healing in this situation. Jessica has the peace of God, right now, in Jesus the Christ's name I pray.

"So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him." Isaiah 59:19 KJV

Lift up the standard and send the angels, Jesus. Peace. Amen.

The Old Testament references ( Genesis 18:4; 19:2; 24:32; 43:24; Judges 19:21; 1 Samuel 25:41; 2 Samuel 11:8; Song of Solomon 5:3; Psalms 58:10) show that the washing of the feet was the first act on entering the tent or house after a journey. The Orientals wore only sandals, and this washing was refreshing as well as cleanly. In the case of ordinary people, the host furnished the water, and the guests washed their own feet, but in the richer houses, the washing was done by a slave. It was looked upon as the lowliest of all services ( 1 Samuel 25:41). Jesus pointedly contrasts Simon's neglect of even giving Him water for His feet with the woman's washing His feet with tears and wiping them with her hair ( Luke 7:44). On the last evening of His life, Jesus washed the disciples' feet ( John 13:1-16). Their pride, heightened by the anticipations of place in the Messianic kingdom whose crisis they immediately expected, prevented their doing this service for each other. Possibly the same pride had expressed itself on this same evening in a controversy about places at table. Jesus, conscious of His divine dignity and against Peter's protest, performed for them this lowliest service. His act of humility actually cleansed their hearts of selfish ambition, killed their pride, and taught them the lesson of love.

The Bible does mention these matters, therefore, you need no longer assume.

14For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

Comment: Sometimes you have to see a word in use (in the Bible) to see what it pertains to.

Vain has multiple uses.

Exodus 5:9

Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.

Leviticus 26:16

I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

I do Praise God JESUS for the many comments I read today. It has truly blessed my soul. I want to say, I stumbled upon this section, but I do know that it was in the plans of our Father that I was drawn to this space for such a time as this. I thank God for the many comments...

In our wealth Culture we would do well to consider the consequences of Nabal's mis-aligned perspective of his own wealth and self sufficiency.

true reality

Verse 13~David's angry response is understandable, but he expressed those feelings in the wrong way.

David has begun his wife-taking spree.

Marietta---I think it amazing how if you stay in the Word, also slow down and take thought how much our Heavenly Father does speak.I hope all turned out well with your fiance' they are fortunate to be with someone who sees truth and has compassion...Also your comment gave me pause to go back and re-read the verse and get more out of it. God Bless in the name of Jesus Christ Amen

J. Ekong - "And Samuel died with total neglect of the ark ..... in the house of Abinadab ..... "; where is this? I don't see it in this chapter.

Vs. 1

And samuel died with total neglect of the Ark of the covenant of God with israel in the house of Abinadab is worth comment. I think he felt dispite the fact that he ministered before the Ark, the rejection of his master, Eli by God and his establishment as a prophet means the Ark was no more relevant. To some extent there is always a dispensation.

Thank God for Women like Abigail who are able to prophesy in obedience to God. She was sent for such a time as this.

GOD always is ready to save the faithful ones.always be in the feet of the lord.amen.

God is the altimate judge, he knows the best way and time to pay each and everyone of us of our deeds to one another.

verse 29 is speaking to a situation my fiance ' is going through. i had to forward it to him for encouragement.

Lets listen when we're corrected of our deeds. God is great and we must obey HIM

God is great at all times and it shows that you must sometimes think of the good things that people do for you; have mercy and return good with good because God is watching us from a distance.

Thank God for who he is that situation lets us know that God is in control of all that we are not above God in any shape or form that at the drop of a hat we can be on the top and the next day we can lose our life or lose all that is not ours from the start. So in essence treat people the way you want to be treated or better yet with respect and God has control of all to trust him that vengence is not ours but the Lord. Trust God with your all! In the Good and in the Bad, he has your back......

The Lord is ever merciful, and Abigail by giving food and wine to David to appease him for what her husband Nabal had done. God returns the sins of Nabal upon his own head when he dies. David is kept from sin, because of Abigail, and then rewarded by becoming David's wife. These multiple marriages God winked at them in the Old Testament, but He has commanded in the New Testament that every man have his own wife, as well as every woman her own husband. When we follow the plan of God for marriage, we are blessed.

Now I understand why Jesus told us to pray "...lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one...". God will deliver us from any situation if we will but trust him.

I love this passage. If you look at the meaning of the name "Nabal", you will find it means "Fool". The Bible meaning of "Fool" is someone that does not believe in God. As Christians we are IN the world but ont OF the world. We live in a world of "Fools" and as David did when he returned to take Abigail as his wife. Christ will return for his Bride, the Church.

1 Samuel 25: 18-37 Principle illustrated: God stops David from taking action against Nabal and shows him that He will take care of the situation when David is not in the way. David was pretty sore at Nabal for being so greedy. David wanted to take vengeance on him, but thankfully Abigail showed up to make up for what her husband had done. David did not take vengeance on Nabal because Abigail stopped him in his tracks and he thanked God for her. In the end Nabal had a stroke and not by David. I like David, need to realize that vengeance is God’s and not mine. I get angry at people for silly things at times and want revenge. I was the one in the wrong. I am so thankful that God handles my problems because I would always make a mess of things.

Generally people with possessions (employers especially), think that they are above everybody. My employer treats everyone (including senior employees) as though they are beneath him and he alone is "intelligent"! He also treats his wife as "nothing". When I read this chapter i got comfort and peace, because God is above all and He knows when His children are being unfairly treated. So i have patience in prayer.
