Footnotes

  1. 39 Heb “when the wine had gone out from Nabal.”
  2. 40 Heb “and his heart died within him and he became a stone.” Cf. , “stroke”; “heart attack.” For an alternative interpretation than that presented above, see Marjorie O’Rourke Boyle, “The Law of the Heart: The Death of a Fool (1 Samuel 25),” 120 (2001): , who argues that a medical diagnosis is not necessary here. Instead, the passage makes a connection between the heart and the law; Nabal dies for his lawlessness.
