1 Samuel 25:14-17

New King James Version

¹⁴ Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he ^[a]reviled them. ¹⁵ But the men were very good to us, and ^(A)we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when we were in the fields. ¹⁶ They were ^(B)a wall to us both by night and day, all the time we were with them keeping the sheep. ¹⁷ Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for ^(C)harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a ^(D)scoundrel^[b] that one cannot speak to him.”
