1 SAMUEL 25:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.”
'If men rise up to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the LORD your God; and the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the hollow of a sling' — Abigail paints a vivid image of the covenant protection binding David's life in the bundle of the living ('ṣrûrāh beṣror haḥayyîm ʿim-YHWH ʾelohékhā'), while his enemies will be scattered like stones from a sling. This is eschatological vision: the victory that is coming.
