1 Samuel 25:26 in Context — 1 Samuel 25
24 Y echóse á sus pies, y dijo: Señor mío, sobre mí sea el pecado; mas ruégote hable tu sierva en tus oídos, y oye las palabras de tu sierva.
25 No ponga ahora mi señor su corazón á aquel hombre brusco, á Nabal; porque conforme á su nombre, así es. El se llama Nabal, y la locura está con él: mas yo tu sierva no vi los criados de mi señor, los cuales tú enviaste.
26 Ahora pues, señor mío, vive Jehová y vive tu alma, que Jehová te ha estorbado que vinieses á [derramar] sangre, y vengarte por tu propia mano. Sean pues como Nabal tus enemigos, y todos los que procuran mal contra mi señor.
27 Y ahora esta bendición que tu sierva ha traído á mi señor, dése á los criados que siguen á mi señor.
28 Y yo te ruego que perdones á tu sierva [esta] ofensa; pues Jehová de cierto hará casa firme á mi señor, por cuanto mi señor hace las guerras de Jehová, y mal no se ha hallado en ti en tus días.
