# Connecting Statement:

Abigail finishes reasoning with David.

# This will not be a staggering burden for you—that you have poured out innocent blood, or because my master attempted to rescue himself
|
|

Abigail is stating that if David chooses not to take revenge he will have a clear conscience when Yahweh makes him king of Israel. This can be stated in positive form. Alternate translation: "You will always be glad you acted as you did-that you have not poured out innocent blood, or because my master did not attempt to rescue himself" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes]])

# my master ... himself ... my master ... your servant
|
|
|

Abigail speaks of herself and David as if they are two other people, to show that she respects David. "you ... yourself ... you ... me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns]])
