pleaded <1SA25 -39> 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: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife. pleaded O Lord, thou hast {pleaded} the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. pleaded Like as I {pleaded} with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. ~~~~~~
