1 Samuel 25:14-20

14And oneH259 of [Nabal's] youngH5288 menH5288 toldH5046 AbigailH26, Nabal's wifeH802, sayingH559, Behold, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 out of the wildernessH4057 to blessH1288 our masterH113; and he has insulted them.

15And the menH376 wereH1961 veryH3966 goodH2896 to us, and we wereH1961 not hurt, neither missedH6485 we anything, as long as we companied with them, when we wereH1961 in the fieldsH7704.

16They wereH1961 a wallH2346 to us both by nightH3915 and dayH3117, all the while we wereH1961 with them feeding the sheepH6629.

17And nowH6258 knowH3045 and considerH7200 what thou wilt do, for evilH7451 is determined against our masterH113, and against all his householdH1004; and he is such a sonH1121 of Belial, that one cannot speakH1696 to him.

18And AbigailH26 madeH6213 hasteH4116, and tookH3947 twoH8147 hundredH3967 loaves, and twoH8147 skin-bottles of wineH3196, and fiveH2568 sheepH6629 ready dressed, and fiveH2568 measures of parched [corn], and a hundredH3967 raisin-cakes, and twoH8147 hundredH3967 fig-cakes, and laid them on asses.

19And she saidH559 to her youngH5288 menH376, GoH935 on before me; behold, I comeH935 after you. But she did not tellH5046 her husbandH376 NabalH5037.

20And as she wasH1961 ridingH7392 on the ass, and comingH3381 downH3381 by the covert of the hillH2022, behold, DavidH1732 and his menH376 came downH3381 opposite to her; and she metH6298 them.
