1 Samuel 25:14-20

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, ^aand we did not miss anything when we were in the fields, as long as we went with them. 16 They were ^ba 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, ^cfor harm is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is such ^da worthless man that one cannot speak to him.”

18 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves and two skins of wine and five sheep already prepared and five seahs ^{▼▼A seah was about 7 quarts or 7.3 liters} 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.
