1 Samuel 25:14-20

« 1 Sam 241 Sam 251 Sam 26 »

14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to ¹^agreet our master, and he rushed at them angrily. 15 Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not ^adishonored, nor did we miss anything ¹as long as we went about with them, while we were in the field. 16 ^aThey were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them shepherding the sheep. 17 So now, know and see what you should do, for evil is decided against our master and against all his household; and he is such a ¹vile man that no one can speak to him.”

Abigail’s Discernment

18 Then Abigail hurried and ^atook two hundred loaves of bread and two ¹jugs of wine and five sheep already prepared and ²five seahs of roasted grain and one hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys. 19 Then she said to her young men, “^aGo on before me; behold, I am coming after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal. 20 So it was happening, as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; and she met them.
