Iwo anakonza zokaseseratu munthu aliyense wamwamuna pakhomo pa Nabala. (1 Sam. 25:12, 13, 21, 22) Zinali zomveka kuti Davide akwiye koma zimene ankafuna kuchita chifukwa cha kukwiyako zinali zolakwika. Baibulo limati: “Mkwiyo wa munthu subala chilungamo cha Mulungu.” (Yak. 1:20) Komano kodi Abigayeli akanatani kuti apulumutse anthu a m’banja mwake?

N’chimodzimodzinso masiku ano, anthu ambiri safuna kumva za ena. Koma mnyamatayo ankadziwa kuti Abigayeli anali munthu wabwino kwambiri, ndipo n’chifukwa chake anaganiza zomuuza nkhaniyi.

Komanso Abigayeli akanapanda kuchita chilichonse, akanakhala ngati akugwirizana ndi zimene mwamuna wake anachita.

Choncho anapempha Davide, yemwe anali waulemu wake, kuti asalimbane ndi munthu wopanda nzeruyo. Iye analankhula mosonyeza kuti ankadziwa zoti Davide ndi mtumiki wa Yehova ndiponso kuti akumenya “nkhondo za Yehova.” Abigayeli anasonyezanso kuti ankadziwa zoti Yehova analonjeza Davide kuti adzamupatsa ufumu.

19. Kodi Davide anatani atamva mawu a Abigayeli, nanga n’chifukwa chiyani anamuyamikira?

Iwenso udalitsike chifukwa cha kulingalira bwino kwako. Udalitsike chifukwa cha kundigwira lero kuti ndisapalamule mlandu wamagazi.” Davide anayamikira kwambiri Abigayeli chifukwa cholimba mtima n’kupita mwachangu kukakumana naye ndiponso chifukwa chomuthandiza kuti asachite zinthu zimene zikanachititsa kuti akhale ndi mlandu wamagazi.

Komabe sikuti iye ankangokhalira kuganizira zimenezi. Baibulo limati: “Kenako Abigayeli anapita kwa Nabala.” Izi zikusonyeza kuti iye anabwerera kwa mwamuna wake ndipo anali ndi mtima wofunitsitsa kusamalira banja lake mmene angathere. Komabe anafunika kudziwitsa mwamuna wakeyo za mphatso zimene anapatsa Davide ndi anthu ake, chifukwa monga mutu wabanja, Nabala anayenera kudziwa zimene zinachitika. Abigayeli atafika kunyumba kwake, anafunika kufotokoza yekha zimenezi kwa mwamuna wake kuopera kuti mwamunayo akanachita manyazi akanamva nkhaniyi kwa anthu ena. Komabe, pa nthawiyi zinali zosatheka kumuuza nkhaniyi chifukwa anali paphwando lalikulu ngati la mfumu ndipo anali ataledzera kwambiri.—1 Sam. 25:36.

Ngakhale zinali choncho, iye anauzabe mwamuna wakeyo zonse zimene zinachitika. Mwachidziwikire Abigayeli ankayembekezera kuti mwamuna wake alusa kwambiri, mwinanso kufika pomumenya. Koma Nabala atamva zimenezi, anangokhala zii, osatakataka.—1 Sam. 25:37.
22. Kodi n’chiyani chinachitikira Nabala, nanga tikuphunzirapo chiyani?
22 Kodi n’chifukwa chiyani Nabala anangokhala, osatakataka? Baibulo limati: “Mtima wake unaferatu mkati mwake ndipo iye anakhala ngati mwala.” Mwina anadwala matenda a sitiroko chifukwa cha mantha. Iye anamwalira patapita masiku 10, osati chifukwa cha matenda, koma chifukwa choti ‘Yehova anamukantha ndipo anafa.’ (1 Sam. 25:38) Nabala atafa, mavuto amene Abigayeli ankakumana nawo m’banja lakeli anathera pomwepo. Ngakhale kuti masiku ano Yehova sapha anthu ngati mmene anachitira ndi Nabala, nkhaniyi ikutiphunzitsa mfundo yoti Yehova amaona nkhanza komanso zoipa zonse zimene zimachitika m’banja.

Abigayeli anayankha kuti: “Ine kapolo wanu ndine wokonzeka kukhala mtumiki wosambitsa mapazi a atumiki a mbuyanga.” N’zoonekeratu kuti iye sanayambe kudzikweza chifukwa choti wapeza mwayi wokhala mkazi wa Davide ndipo ananena kuti anali wokonzeka kukhala mtumiki wa akapolo a Davide. Zitatero, Baibulo limafotokozanso kuti ananyamuka mofulumira kupita kwa Davide.—1 Sam. 25:39-42.
24. Kodi Abigayeli anakumana ndi mavuto otani atakwatirana ndi Davide, koma kodi mwamuna wake komanso Mulungu ankamuona bwanji?

Ngakhale kuti pa nthawiyo Mulungu ankalola mitala, n’zoonekeratu kuti akazi okhulupirika omwe anali pa mitala ankakumana ndi mavuto ambiri. Komanso pa nthawiyi Davide anali asanakhale mfumu ndipo panali mavuto ambiri amene akanakumana nawo asanakhale pa udindowo. Koma Abigayeli ankathandiza ndiponso kulimbikitsa Davide ndi mtima wake wonse ndipo anam’berekera mwana wamwamuna. Abigayeli ankaonanso kuti mwamuna wakeyo ankam’lemekeza, ankam’konda ndiponso ankamuteteza. Ndipotu pa nthawi inayake, Davide anapulumutsa mkazi wakeyu kwa anthu omwe anamuba. (1 Sam. 30:1-19) Choncho, Davide ankatsanzira Yehova Mulungu, yemwe amakonda ndiponso kulemekeza akazi oganiza bwino, olimba mtima ndiponso okhulupirika ngati mmene analili Abigayeli.
