'Please forgive the trespass of your servant; for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live' — Abigail prophesies David's dynastic future ('bayit nᵉʾemān'), revealing that God has already chosen him as the one whose house will endure. The phrase 'nᵉlḥamtā ʾet-milḥᵉmôt YHWH' recognizes his role as the LORD's warrior, waging the cosmic battles of covenant faithfulness.
