1 Samuel 25:14-20
14Meanwhile, oneH259 of Nabal’sH5288 young menH5288H559 informedH5046 Nabal’sH5037 wifeH802 AbigailH26, “LookH2009, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 from the wildernessH4057 to greetH1288 our masterH113, but he screamedH5860 at them. 15Yet these menH582 were veryH3966 goodH2896 to us. When we wereH1961 in the fieldH7704, we were notH3808 harassedH3637, and nothingH3808H3972 of ours went missingH6485 the wholeH3605 timeH3117 we livedH1980 among themH854. 16They wereH1961 a wallH2346 around usH5921, bothH1571 dayH3119 andH1571 nightH3915, the wholeH3605 timeH3117 we wereH1961 herdingH7462 our sheepH6629 near themH5973. 17NowH6258 consider carefullyH3045H7200 whatH4100 you must doH6213, becauseH3588 disasterH7451 loomsH3615 overH413 our masterH113 andH5921 allH3605 his householdH1004. For heH1931 is such a scoundrelH1121H1100 that nobody can speakH1696 to himH413!”
18Then AbigailH26 hurriedH4116 and tookH3947 two hundredH3967 loaves of breadH3899, twoH8147 skinsH5035 of wineH3196, fiveH2568 butcheredH6213 sheepH6629, fiveH2568 seahsH5429 of roasted grainH7039,1 a hundredH3967 clusters of raisinsH6778, and two hundredH3967 cakes of figsH1690. She loaded themH7760 onH5921 donkeysH2543 19and saidH559 to her young menH5288, “GoH5674 ahead of meH6440. I will beH2005 right behind youH310H935.” But she did notH3808 tellH5046 her husbandH376 NabalH5037.
AsH1931 Abigail came ridingH7392H5921 her donkeyH2543 into a mountainH3381H2022 ravineH5643, she sawH2009 DavidH1732 and his menH582 coming downH3381 toward herH7122, and she metH6298 themH853.
