Context — David, Nabal, and Abigail
12So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.
13And David said to his men, “Strap on your swords!” So David and all his men strapped on their swords, and about four hundred men followed David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.
14Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he screamed at them.
15Yet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them. 16They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.Cross References

1 Samuel 25:14 Summary
This verse tells us that one of Nabal's young men told his wife Abigail about how Nabal had scolded David's messengers, even though David's men had been kind and protective of Nabal's shepherds. This shows that Nabal was not a very grateful or kind person. Meanwhile, Abigail is being informed about the situation, and she will later take action to try to make things right. We can learn from this verse the importance of being grateful and kind to those who have helped us, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 and 1 Corinthians 4:7.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Nabal scold David's messengers?
Nabal scolded David's messengers because he was a harsh and prideful man, as seen in 1 Samuel 25:14, and did not appreciate David's kindness, which is also evident in 1 Samuel 25:15-16 where it is stated that David's men protected Nabal's shepherds.
Who informed Abigail about the situation with David's messengers?
One of Nabal's young men informed Abigail about the situation, as stated in 1 Samuel 25:14, showing that not everyone in Nabal's household shared his negative attitude towards David.
What can we learn from Nabal's behavior in this verse?
We can learn that pride and a lack of gratitude can lead to conflict and harm relationships, as seen in 1 Samuel 25:14 and also in Proverbs 16:18 where it is written that pride goes before destruction.
How does Abigail's character contrast with Nabal's in this verse?
Abigail's character is shown to be wise and kind, as she is informed about the situation and will later take action to prevent conflict, whereas Nabal is shown to be harsh and prideful, as seen in 1 Samuel 25:14 and also in 1 Samuel 25:3 where Abigail is described as intelligent and beautiful.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can show gratitude and kindness to those who have helped me, just like David had helped Nabal's shepherds?
- How can I avoid being like Nabal, who was prideful and ungrateful, and instead cultivate a humble and thankful heart, as encouraged in Ephesians 4:32 and Colossians 3:12-14?
- What role can wise and discerning friends or family members play in preventing conflict, as Abigail will later do in this story?
- In what ways can I be a 'wall of protection' for those around me, as David's men were for Nabal's shepherds, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 25:16?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Samuel 25:14
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife,.... Not one of David's young men, as what follows shows, but one of Nabal's young men or servants, one of those David directs him to for the truth
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 25:14
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 25:14
One of the young men told Abigail; wisely considering the mischievous effects likely to follow so churlish a message.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 25:14
1 Samuel 25:14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’ s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.Ver. 14. And he railed on them.] Heb., He flew upon them; as a ravenous bird doth upon the prey. Or, He drove them away, sc., by his harsh and currish language wherewith he let fly at them.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 25:14
(14) But one of the young men told Abigail.—The servant of Nabal—accustomed, no doubt, to his master’s wild and ungovernable displays of temper had heard the insulting words which Nabal spoke to the armed messenger of the famous outlaw captain; and probably gathering from the angry demeanour of these warlike followers of David how deadly was the insult—aware, too, how great was the power of the man thus insulted—came at once, and recounted to his mistress what had taken place. Abigail had, no doubt, often acted as peace-maker between her intemperate husband and his neighbours, and on hearing the story and how imprudently her husband had behaved, saw that no time must be lost, for with a clever woman’s wit she saw that grave consequences would surely follow the churlish refusal and the rash words, which betrayed at once the jealous adherent of Saul and the bitter enemy of the powerful outlaw.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Samuel 25:14
14–22. Abigail’s wise counsel 14. to salute] Lit. to bless, as in ch. 1 Samuel 13:10. Cp. 2 Kings 4:29, and the form of salutation in 1 Samuel 15:13. he railed on them] Lit. flew upon them; the same word as in 1 Samuel 14:32.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Samuel 25:14
Railed on them - The marginal reading, “flew upon them,” is nearer to the original.
