1 Samuel 25:14-20

14Now oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 toldH5046 AbigailH26, Nabal’sH5037 wifeH802, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 from the wildernessH4057 to 12greetH1288 our masterH113, and he spokeH5860 to them inH5860 angerH5860. 15Yet the menH376 were veryH3966 goodH2896 to us, and we were not 3harmedH3637, norH3808 did anythingH3972 goH6485 missingH6485 4asH3605H3117 longH3605H3117 as we wentH1980 with them, while we were in the fieldsH7704. 165They were a wallH2346 to us bothH1571 by nightH3915 and by dayH3119, allH3605 the timeH3117 we were with them tendingH7462 the sheepH6629. 17NowH6258 then, beH3045 awareH3045 and 6considerH7200 whatH4100 you should doH6213, becauseH3588 harmH7463 is plottedH3615 againstH413 our masterH113 and againstH5921 allH3605 his householdH1004; and he is suchH4480 a 7worthlessH1100 manH1121 thatH4480 noH4480 one can speakH1696 to him.”

18Then AbigailH26 hurriedH4116 and 8tookH3947 two hundredH3967 loaves of breadH3899 and twoH8147 jugsH5035 of wineH3196, and fiveH2568 sheepH6629 already preparedH6213 and fiveH2568 measuresH5429 of roastedH7039 grainH7039, and a hundredH3967 cakesH6778 ofH6778 raisinsH6778 and two hundredH3967 cakesH1690 ofH1690 figsH1690, and she loadedH7760 them on donkeysH2543. 19Then she saidH559 to her youngH5288 menH5288, “9GoH5674 onH5674 aheadH6440 of me; beholdH2009, I am comingH935 afterH310 you.” But she did not tellH5046 her husbandH376 NabalH5037. 20And it happenedH1961 as she was ridingH7392 on her donkeyH2543 and comingH3381 downH3381 by the hiddenH5643 partH5643 of the mountainH2022, that beholdH2009, DavidH1732 and his menH376 were comingH3381 downH3381 towardH7122 her; so she metH6298 them.
