Revised Version 1895
1 Samuel 25:14-20
14But one of the youngH5288 menH5288 toldH5046 AbigailH26, Nabal’sH5037 wifeH802, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 outH7971 of the wildernessH4057 to saluteH1288 our masterH113; and he flew uponH802 them.
15But the menH376 were veryH3966 goodH2896 unto usH3117, and weH3117 were notH3808 hurt, neitherH3808 missedH6485 weH3117 anyH3605 thingH3605, as longH3117 as weH3117 were conversant with them, when weH3117 were in the fieldsH7704:
16they were a wallH2346 unto usH5921 bothH1571 by nightH3915 and by dayH3117, allH3605 the whileH1961 weH3117 were with them keeping the sheepH6629.
17NowH6258 therefore knowH3045 and considerH7200 whatH4100 thou wilt doH6213; for evilH7451 is determinedH3615 againstH5921 our masterH113, and againstH5921 allH3605 his houseH1004: for he is suchH1931 a sonH1121 of Belial, that one cannot speakH1696 to him.
18Then AbigailH26 madeH6213 hasteH4116, and tookH3947 twoH8147 hundredH3967 loavesH3899, and twoH8147 bottles of wineH3196, and fiveH2568 sheepH6629 ready dressed, and fiveH2568 measuresH5429 of parchedH7039 corn, and an hundredH3967 clustersH6778 of raisinsH6778, and twoH8147 hundredH3967 cakesH1690 of figsH1690, and laidH7760 them on asses.
19And sheH3808 saidH559 unto herH5046 youngH5288 menH376, GoH935 on beforeH6440 meH6440; beholdH2005, I comeH935 afterH310 youH6440. But sheH3808 toldH5046 notH3808 herH5046 husbandH376 NabalH5037.
20And it was soH1961, as sheH1931 rodeH7392 on herH5921 ass, and cameH1961 downH3381 by the covert of the mountainH2022, that, beholdH2009, DavidH1732 and his menH376 cameH1961 downH3381 againstH5921 herH5921; and sheH1931 metH6298 them.
