1 Sam 25:
Samuel passed away.
David is now on his own with Saul pursuing him. I see this time as training for David. He had a band of men following him. In the last chapter, David managed to conviced his men not to kill Saul because Daivd would not kill the Lord's anointed.
In this chapter, David is going to kill Nabal and every male in his family. A woman named Abigail was discerning and beautiful. She interceed for Nabal and made peace with David. David thus spared Nabal.
33 Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from avenging myself with my own hand! 34 For as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from hurting you.
Let the one who lack wisdom and discretion ask from the Lord, least that our decisions plundered.
