Now the name of the
man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she
was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but
the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of
the house of Caleb...Now therefore know and consider
what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all
his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a
man cannot speak to him...Now David had said,
Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the
wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto
him: and he hath requited me evil for good...And when David heard
that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, that
hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his
servant from evil:
In reference to Saul, David rewarded good for evil. 1 Samuel 24:11-17
Moreover, my father,
see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt
of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither
evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet
thou huntest my soul to take it...And he said to David,
Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me
good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.
Reward good for evil.
Psalm 38:20 They also that render evil for good
are mine adversaries; because I follow the
thing that good is.
Psalm 35:12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
Proverbs 17:13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil
shall not depart from his house.
1 Thessalonians 5:15 See that none render evil for
evil unto any man; but ever follow
that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
1 Peter 3:9 not rendering evil for evil, or
railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto
called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
Matthew 5:44-46 But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for
them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the
children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on
the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the
publicans the same?
Do not avenge. Leave that to God, who does not err in doing so.
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not
yourselves, but rather give place
unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is
mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
