He was in high spirits and very drunk
Think of the King - 384
Read this first: 1 Samuel 25:36-37
Nabal thinks he's king of his land and gets drunk on his power and wine. But, really, he's just an old wineskin and, when the drink is gone, Abigail tells him the cold truth about himself. The shock shatters him, leaving him like a stone to be cast away (v29). Wealth, success and alcohol may energise us for a time but they're soon gone. The Lord offers us eternal life.
Based on the sermon “Help from the Lord”
