1 Sam. 25:18‑35• 18Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
 19And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
 20And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
 21Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, {i}so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited me evil for good{/i}.
 22So, and more also do God unto the enemies of David, {i}if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male{/i}.
 23And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
 24and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
 25Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
 26Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, {i}and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal{/i}.
 27And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
 28I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of Jehovah, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
 29Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul; {i}but{/i} the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God. And the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling{i}.
 30And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel,
 31that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
 32And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me.
 33And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
 34For in very deed, as Jehovah God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light a single soul.
