Commentary on 1 Samuel 25:29

Theological / Devotional

Yet a man. The Hebrew appears to be general, “should a man.” Abigail was obviously thinking about Saul, but her language was diplomatic.

Bundle of life. Hebrew seror hachchayyim. Literally, “bundle of the living.” The figure is borrowed from the custom of tying up valuables in a bundle so that the owner may carry them about his person. The Hebrew words are used on Jewish gravestones today, with reference, according to Jewish authorities, to the future life.
