And be sure to say,‘ Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” Jacob thought,“ I will try to appease him by sending gifts ahead of me. When I see him in person, perhaps he will be friendly to me.”

暗中送的禮物挽回怒氣；懷中搋的賄賂止息暴怒。

甚麼贖價，他都不顧；你雖送許多禮物，他也不肯干休。

所以當製造你們痔瘡的像和毀壞你們田地老鼠的像，並要歸榮耀給以色列的神，或者他向你們和你們的神，並你們的田地，把手放輕些。

用溫柔勸戒那抵擋的人；或者神給他們悔改的心，可以明白真道，

或者神轉意後悔，不發烈怒，使我們不致滅亡，也未可知。」

暴怒的人挑啟爭端；忍怒的人止息紛爭。

王的震怒如殺人的使者；但智慧人能止息王怒。

所以你當籌劃，看怎樣行才好；不然，禍患定要臨到我主人和他全家。他性情凶暴，無人敢與他說話。」亞比該急忙將二百餅，兩皮袋酒，五隻收拾好了的羊，五細亞烘好了的穗子，一百葡萄餅，二百無花果餅，都馱在驢上，對僕人說：「你們前頭走，我隨着你們去。」這事她卻沒有告訴丈夫拿八。亞比該騎着驢，正下山坡，見大衛和跟隨他的人從對面下來，亞比該就迎接他們。大衛曾說：「我在曠野為那人看守所有的，以致他一樣不失落，實在是徒然了！他向我以惡報善。凡屬拿八的男丁，我若留一個到明日早晨，願神重重降罰與我！」亞比該見大衛，便急忙下驢，在大衛面前臉伏於地叩拜，俯伏在大衛的腳前，說：「我主啊，願這罪歸我！求你容婢女向你進言，更求你聽婢女的話。我主不要理這壞人拿八，他的性情與他的名相稱；他名叫拿八，他為人果然愚頑。但我主所打發的僕人，婢女並沒有看見。我主啊，耶和華既然阻止你親手報仇，取流血的罪，所以我指着永生的耶和華、又敢在你面前起誓說：『願你的仇敵和謀害你的人都像拿八一樣。』如今求你將婢女送來的禮物給跟隨你的僕人。求你饒恕婢女的罪過。耶和華必為我主建立堅固的家，因我主為耶和華爭戰；並且在你平生的日子查不出有甚麼過來。雖有人起來追逼你，尋索你的性命，你的性命卻在耶和華－你的神那裏蒙保護，如包裹寶器一樣；你仇敵的性命，耶和華必拋去，如用機弦甩石一樣。我主現在若不親手報仇流無辜人的血，到了耶和華照所應許你的話賜福與你，立你作以色列的王，那時我主必不致心裏不安，覺得良心有虧。耶和華賜福與我主的時候，求你記念婢女。」
