1 Samuel 25:14-20
14But oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 toldH5046 AbigailH26, Nabal’s wifeH802, sayingH559, Behold, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 out of the wildernessH4057 to salute our masterH113; and he railed at them. 15But the menH376 wereH1961 veryH3966 goodH2896 unto us, and we wereH1961 not hurt, neither missedH6485 we anything, as long as we wentH1980 with them, when we wereH1961 in the fieldsH7704: 16they wereH1961 a wallH2346 unto us both by nightH3915 and by dayH3117, all the while we wereH1961 with them keeping the sheepH6629. 17NowH6258 thereforeH6258 knowH3045 and considerH7200 what thou wilt do; for evilH7451 is determined against our masterH113, and against all his houseH1004: for he is such a worthlessH1100 fellow, that one cannot speakH1696 to him.
18Then AbigailH26 madeH6213 hasteH4116, and tookH3947 twoH8147 hundredH3967 loaves, and twoH8147 bottles of wineH3196, and fiveH2568 sheepH6629 ready dressed, and fiveH2568 measures of parched grainH7039, and a hundredH3967 clusters of raisinsH6778, and twoH8147 hundredH3967 cakesH1690 of figsH1690, and laid them on asses. 19And she saidH559 unto her youngH5288 menH376, GoH935 on before me; behold, I comeH935 after you. But she toldH5046 not her husbandH376 NabalH5037. 20And it wasH1961 so, as she rodeH7392 on her ass, and came downH3381 by the covert of the mountainH2022, that, behold, DavidH1732 and his menH376 came downH3381 toward her; and she metH6298 them.
