1 Samuel 25:18-22
English Standard Version
18 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves and two skins of wine and five sheep already prepared and five seahs[a] of parched grain and a hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys. 19 And she said to her young men, “Go on before me; behold, I come after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal. 20 And as she rode on the donkey and came down under cover of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them. 21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, (A)so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him, and he has (B)returned me evil for good. 22 (C)God do so to the enemies of David[b] and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him.”
