1 Samuel 25:18-35 And Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of roasted grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and laid them on asses.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ And Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of roasted grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and laid them on asses. ¹⁹ And she said to her servants, Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal. ²⁰ And it happened, she was riding on the ass and coming down under cover of the mountain. And behold, David and his men came down across from her. And she met them. ²¹ And David had said, Surely in vain I have kept all that belongs to this fellow in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his. And he has requited me evil for good. ²² So and more also may God do to the enemies of David, if I leave to the light of the morning any that is his of one who urinates against the wall. ²³ And Abigail saw David and hurried and dismounted from the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground. ²⁴ And she fell at his feet and said, On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be. And please let your handmaid speak in your ears, and hear the words of your handmaid. ²⁵ Please do not let my lord regard this man of worthlessness, Nabal. For as his name is, so he is. Nabal is his name, and foolishness is with him. And I, your handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent. ²⁶ And now, my lord, as Jehovah lives and as your soul lives, since Jehovah has withheld you from coming to shed blood, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies, and those that seek to do evil to my lord, be as Nabal. ²⁷ And now this blessing which your handmaid has brought to my lord, let it even be given to the young men who follow my lord. ²⁸ Please forgive the trespass of your handmaid. For Jehovah will certainly make a sure house for my lord, because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in you all your days. ²⁹ Yet a man has risen to pursue you and to seek your soul. But the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah your God. And the souls of your enemies, He shall sling them from the hollow of a sling. ³⁰ And it shall be, when Jehovah has done to my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and commanded you to be ruler over Israel, ³¹ this shall be no stumbling to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood for nothing, or that my lord has delivered himself. And may Jehovah deal well with my lord, and you remember your handmaid. ³² And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me. ³³ And blessed is your advice, and blessed are you who have kept me from coming to shed blood today, and from delivering myself with my own hand. ³⁴ And truly, as Jehovah, the God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from doing evil to you, for unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light one who urinates against the wall. ³⁵ And David received from her hand that which she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to your house. See, I have listened to your voice and have accepted your person.
