1 SAMUEL 25:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
'Now therefore know this and consider what you should do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his house, for he is such a worthless man that one cannot speak to him' — the servant's speech shifts from narration to warning, recognizing that Nabal's character ('ben-bᵉliyyaʿal', literally 'son of worthlessness') makes him unreachable by reason. The phrase 'nisgᵉrāh ʿālāyw rāʿāh' (harm is determined/enclosed against him) suggests fate closing in.
