1 Samuel 25:14-20

14One of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “David sent messengers from the desert to greet our master, who yelled at them.

15Those men were very good to us. They didn’t mistreat us, and we found that nothing was missing wherever we went with them when we were in the fields.

16They were a wall protecting us day and night as long as we were watching the sheep near them.

17Now, consider what you should do because our master and his whole household are doomed. And he’s such a worthless man that it’s useless to talk to him.”

18So Abigail quickly took 200 loaves of bread, 2 full wineskins, 5 butchered sheep, a bushel of roasted grain, 100 bunches of raisins, and 200 fig cakes and loaded them on donkeys.

19“Go on ahead,” she told her young men, “and I’ll follow you.” But she didn’t tell her husband Nabal about it.

20She was riding on her donkey down a hidden mountain path when she met David and his men coming toward her.
