1 Samuel 25:26 in Context — 1 Samuel 25

24 E lançou-se a seus pés, e disse: Senhor meu, sobre mim seja o pecado; mas rogo-te fale tua serva em teus ouvidos, e ouve as palavras de tua serva.

25 Não ponha agora meu senhor seu coração a aquele homem grosseiro, a Nabal; porque conforme seu nome, assim é. O se chama Nabal, e a loucura está com ele: mas eu tua serva não vi os criados de meu senhor, os quais tu enviaste.

26 Agora, pois, senhor meu, vive o SENHOR e vive tua alma, que o SENHOR te impediu que viesses a derramar sangue, e vingar-te por tua própria mão. Sejam, pois, como Nabal teus inimigos, e todos os que procuram mal contra meu senhor.

27 E agora esta bênção que tua serva trouxe a meu senhor, seja dada aos criados que seguem a meu senhor.

28 E eu te rogo que perdoes a tua serva esta ofensa; pois o SENHOR de certo fará casa firme a meu senhor, porquanto meu senhor faz as guerras do SENHOR, e mal não se achou em ti em teus dias.
