暗中送的禮物挽回怒氣，懷裏的賄賂能止息暴怒。

他不接受任何賠償，你送許多禮物，他也不肯和解。

當製造你們痔瘡的像和毀壞田地老鼠的像，並要將榮耀歸給以色列的神，或者他向你們和你們的神明，以及你們的田地，把手放輕些。

用溫柔勸導反對的人。也許神會給他們悔改的心能明白真理，

誰知道神也許會回心轉意，不發烈怒，使我們不致滅亡。」

王的震怒是死亡的使者，但智慧人能平息王怒。

現在，你當知道，看怎樣做才好。不然，禍患必定臨到我主人和他全家。他性情兇暴，無人敢與他說話。」亞比該急忙將二百個餅，兩皮袋酒，五隻宰好的羊，五細亞烘熟的穗子，一百個葡萄乾餅，二百個無花果餅，都馱在驢上，對僕人說：「你們在我前面走，看哪，我跟着你們去。」她卻沒有告訴丈夫拿八。亞比該騎着驢，正下山坡，看哪，大衛和他的人正迎着亞比該下來，她就去迎接他們。大衛曾說：「我在曠野為那人看守他一切所有的，以致他未失去任何一樣東西，實在是徒然了！他竟然向我以惡報善。凡屬拿八的男丁，我若留一個到明日早晨，願神重重懲罰大衛！」亞比該看見大衛，就急忙下驢，在大衛面前臉伏於地叩拜。她俯伏在大衛的腳前，說：「我主啊，願這罪歸於我！求你容許使女向你進言，更求你聽使女的話。我主不必理會拿八這性情兇暴的人，他就像他的名字一樣；他名叫拿八，為人也真是愚頑。至於我，你的使女並沒有看見我主所派來的僕人。現在，我主啊，耶和華既然阻止你親手報仇，避免流人的血，我指着永生的耶和華起誓，又指着你的性命起誓：『現在，願你的仇敵和謀害我主的人都像拿八一樣。』現在求我主把婢女送來的禮物給跟隨我主的僕人。求你原諒使女的冒犯。耶和華必為我主建立堅固的家，因為我主為耶和華爭戰，並且你一生的日子查不出有甚麼惡來。雖有人起來追逼你，要尋索你的性命，我主的性命在耶和華－你的神那裏，如同藏在生命的寶藏中。至於你仇敵的性命，耶和華必甩去，如用機弦甩石一樣。耶和華照所應許你的福氣賜給我主，立你作以色列王的時候，我主就不至於因為親手報仇，流了無辜人的血，而心裏不安，良心有虧了。耶和華賜福給我主的時候，求你記得你的使女。」大衛對亞比該說：「耶和華－以色列的神是應當稱頌的，因為他今日派你來迎接我。你和你的見識也配得稱讚，因為你今日攔阻我親手報仇、流人的血。我指着阻止我加害於你的耶和華－以色列永生的神起誓，若不是你很快地來迎接我，到早晨天亮的時候，凡屬拿八的男丁，必定一個也不留。」大衛從亞比該手中收了她帶來的禮物，對她說：「平平安安上你的家去吧！你看，我看了你的情面，聽了你的話。」

他的臣僕對他說：「看哪，我們聽說以色列家的王都是仁慈的王；讓我們腰束麻布，頭套繩索，出去到以色列王那裏，也許他會存留王的性命。」
