1 Samuel
Chapters 25:23-29
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
23Just then Abigail arrived. When she saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down with her face to the ground in front of him.
24Abigail fell at his feet and said, “Sir, please let me talk to you. Listen to what I say. Blame me for what happened.
25I didn’t see the men you sent. Sir, don’t pay any attention to that worthless man, Nabal. His name means ‘Foolish,’ and that is what he is.
26The Lord has kept you from killing innocent people. As surely as the Lord lives and you as well, may your enemies and anyone else who wants to harm you be as cursed as Nabal is.
27Now, I am bringing this gift to you. Please give these things to your men.
28Please forgive me for doing wrong. I know the Lord will make your family strong because you fight his battles. People will never find anything bad about you as long as you live.
29If someone chases you to kill you, the Lord your God will save your life. But he will throw away your enemies like a stone from a sling.
