1 Samuel 25:14-17

English Standard Version

¹⁴ But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master, and he railed at them. ¹⁵ Yet the men were very good to us, and we suffered no harm, ^(A)and we did not miss anything when we were in the fields, as long as we went with them. ¹⁶ They were ^(B)a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. ¹⁷ Now therefore know this and consider what you should do, ^(C)for harm is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is such ^(D)a worthless man that one cannot speak to him.”
