# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
The writer gives background information before he continues with the story. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-background]])
|
|
|
|
# Now David had said, "Surely ... for good.
|
|
|
|
The reader needs to understand that David had said these things before he said, "Every man strap on his sword" in [1 Samuel 25:13](../25/13.md).
|
|
|
|
# Now David had said
|
|
|
|
The word "Now" is used here to mark a break in the story. The author stops telling about Abigail going to David and tells about what David had said sometime before Abigail went to him.
|
|
|
|
# nothing was missed of all that belonged to him
|
|
|
|
This can be stated positively and in active form. Alternate translation: "he still has everything that was his" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-litotes]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
