1 Samuel 25:14-19
New International Version
14 One of the servants told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “David sent messengers from the wilderness to give our master his greetings,(A) but he hurled insults at them. 15 Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat(B) us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing.(C) 16 Night and day they were a wall(D) around us the whole time we were herding our sheep near them. 17 Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked(E) man that no one can talk to him.”
18 Abigail acted quickly. She took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five seahs[a] of roasted grain,(F) a hundred cakes of raisins(G) and two hundred cakes of pressed figs, and loaded them on donkeys.(H) 19 Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead;(I) I’ll follow you.” But she did not tell(J) her husband Nabal.
