Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(31) Then remember thine handmaid.--With exquisite grace Abigail wound up her earnest simple words to the king of the future with a reference to the period when those happy days, to which she looked forward with such certainty, should have arrived--then David must have no deeds of violence, of furious passion, and of shed blood to look back upon. When that golden time should have come--as come it surely would--he must remember then that Abigail, who was now speaking to him, had saved him from the commission of a wild and sinful act, and, in grateful memory for the good service, must then look kindly on her from his throne.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewthen my lordלַאדֹנִ֗י (la·ḏō·nî)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 113: Sovereign, controllerwill haveתִהְיֶ֣ה (ṯih·yeh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, benoוְלֹ֣א (wə·lō)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noremorseלְפוּקָה֩ (lə·p̄ū·qāh)Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 6330: Tottering, staggeringor guiltוּלְמִכְשׁ֨וֹל (ū·lə·miḵ·šō·wl)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4383: A stumbling, means or occasion of stumbling, a stumbling blockof conscienceלֵ֜ב (lêḇ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3820: The heart, the feelings, the will, the intellect, centreover needlessחִנָּ֔ם (ḥin·nām)AdverbStrong's 2600: Gratis, devoid of cost, reason, advantagebloodshedוְלִשְׁפָּךְ־ (wə·liš·pāḵ-)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 8210: To spill forth, to expend, to sprawl out[and]אֲדֹנִ֖י (’ă·ḏō·nî)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 113: Sovereign, controllerrevenge.וּלְהוֹשִׁ֥יעַ (ū·lə·hō·wō·šî·a‘)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive constructStrong's 3467: To be open, wide, free, to be safe, to free, succorAnd when the LORDיְהוָה֙ (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelhas dealt wellוְהֵיטִ֤ב (wə·hê·ṭiḇ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3190: To be good, well, glad, or pleasingwith my lord,לַֽאדֹנִ֔י (la·ḏō·nî)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 113: Sovereign, controllermay you rememberוְזָכַרְתָּ֖ (wə·zā·ḵar·tā)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 2142: To mark, to remember, to mention, to be maleyour maidservant.”אֲמָתֶֽךָ׃ (’ă·mā·ṯe·ḵā)Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 519: A maidservant, female slaveJump to PreviousAvenged Blood Cause Causeless Deals Dealt Either Handmaid Heart Maidservant Offence Offense Pangs Remember Shed Stumbling-Block Troubled
