1 Samuel 25:14-20

14One of Nabal’s young men informed Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he screamed at them.

15The men treated us very well. When we were in the field, we weren’t harassed and nothing of ours was missing the whole time we were living among them.

16They were a wall around us, both day and night, the entire time we were with them herding the sheep.

17Now consider carefully what you should do, because there is certain to be trouble for our master and his entire family. He is such a worthless fool nobody can talk to him!”

18Abigail hurried, taking two hundred loaves of bread, two clay jars of wine, five butchered sheep, a bushel of roasted grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of pressed figs, and loaded them on donkeys.

19Then she said to her male servants, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband, Nabal.

20As she rode the donkey down a mountain pass hidden from view, she saw David and his men coming toward her and met them.
