36 And Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, ^ahe was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart ^bwas merry within him, for he was very drunk.

16 And they went out at noon, while Ben-hadad ^ewas drinking himself drunk in the booths, he and the thirty-two kings who helped him. 17 The servants of the governors of the districts went out first. And Ben-hadad sent out scouts, and they reported to him, “Men are coming out from Samaria.” 18 He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive. Or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”

19 So these went out of the city, the servants of the governors of the districts and the army that followed them. 20 And each struck down his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them, but Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen. 21 And the king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and struck the Syrians with a great blow.

22 Then ^fthe prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Come, strengthen yourself, and consider well what you have to do, for ^gin the spring the king of Syria will come up against you.”
