Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 25 of 1 Samuel. One of the servants informs Abigail of the danger caused by Nabal’s response. Abigail acts quickly to prevent a massacre and recognizes that David is destined to fight the Lord’s battles. Her intervention introduces a moral perspective that David had temporarily lost in his anger. Abigail’s decision is especially significant because it prevents David from taking personal revenge and shedding unnecessary blood. The future king is confronted with the need to distinguish justice from retaliation.

So merke nun und siehe, was du tust; denn es ist gewiß ein Unglück vorhanden über unsern Herrn und über sein ganzes Haus; und er ist ein heilloser Mann, dem niemand etwas sagen darf.
Ahora pues, entiende y mira lo que has de hacer, porque el mal está del todo resuelto contra nuestro amo y contra toda su casa: pues él es un hombre tan malo, que no hay quien pueda hablarle.
Ahora piensa y ve qué vas a hacer, porque la desgracia está decidida contra nuestro señor y contra toda su familia. Él es un hombre tan perverso que no se le puede hablar».
Sache maintenant et vois ce que tu as à faire, car la perte de notre maître et de toute sa maison est résolue, et il est si méchant qu'on n'ose lui parler.
Or dunque sappi, e vedi ciò che tu hai a fare; perciocchè il male è determinato contro al nostro padrone, e contro a tutta la sua casa; ed egli è uomo di tanto male affare, che non se gli può parlare
Considera, pois, agora, e vê o que hás de fazer, porque o mal já está de todo determinado contra o nosso amo e contra toda a sua casa, e ele é um homem vil, que não há quem lhe possa falar.
現在,你當知道,看怎樣做才好。不然,禍患必定臨到我主人和他全家。他性情兇暴,無人敢與他說話。」
