1 SAMUEL 25:36 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.”
And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk — Nabal, oblivious to the danger that nearly consumed him and his house, feasts like a king ('miške melekh') while his heart is 'merry' ('ṭôb libbô'). The irony is profound: the fool celebrates his wealth even as it stands under judgment.
