I already related how Nabal finished his days as a church deacon when sometime finally told on him.
I was just thinking about that when a detail came to mind.
Nabal said he had gone to the neighborhood where the guy lived looking for him...to beat him up...but the guy ran away. Lets break this down.
The most reverent church deacon, who enjoyed the deference paid to him by the flock. (of course after the pastor.) He prayed over these people. The deacon who in the end was the antipathy of any description of a deacon in the Bible. The deacon whom most of Proverbs speaks against most of what he does. Went looking for a man who told the pastor about his uncouth, bad even by non church folk standards behavior. (unless he was actually in church!) To beat the man up? Do I need too say more? Then accuse the man of lying...when all the time he spoke the truth.
Yes this its called remorseless.
