1 Thessalonians 5 2-1 Thessalonians 5 7
For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.When people are saying,“ Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape.But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief.For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night.So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk.

Thank God for your good sense! Bless you for keeping me from murder and from carrying out vengeance with my own hands.For I swear by the Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from hurting you, that if you had not hurried out to meet me, not one of Nabal’s men would still be alive tomorrow morning.”Then David accepted her present and told her,“ Return home in peace. I have heard what you said. We will not kill your husband.”When Abigail arrived home, she found that Nabal was throwing a big party and was celebrating like a king. He was very drunk, so she didn’t tell him anything about her meeting with David until dawn the next day.In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him what had happened. As a result he had a stroke, and he lay paralyzed on his bed like a stone.About ten days later, the Lord struck him, and he died.

About noontime, as Ben hadad and the thirty two allied kings were still in their tents drinking themselves into a stupor,the troops of the provincial commanders marched out of the city as the first contingent. As they approached, Ben hadad’s scouts reported to him,“ Some troops are coming from Samaria.”“ Take them alive,” Ben hadad commanded,“ whether they have come for peace or for war.”But Ahab’s provincial commanders and the entire army had now come out to fight.Each Israelite soldier killed his Aramean opponent, and suddenly the entire Aramean army panicked and fled. The Israelites chased them, but King Ben hadad and a few of his charioteers escaped on horses.However, the king of Israel destroyed the other horses and chariots and slaughtered the Arameans.Afterward the prophet said to King Ahab,“ Get ready for another attack. Begin making plans now, for the king of Aram will come back next spring.”
