Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ But a certain one of her young men told, Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying,––Lo! David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he treated them with contempt. ¹⁵ But, the men, were exceeding good to us,––and we were not harmed, neither missed we, anything, all the days we went to and fro with them, while we were in the fields: ¹⁶ A wall, became they unto us, both by night and by day, all the days we were with them, tending the flock. ¹⁷ Now, therefore, know thou, and see, what thou canst do, for mischief is determined against our lord, and against all his household,––but, he, is such an abandoned man, that one cannot speak unto him.
