14But one of the young men said to Nabal's wife Abigail, David sent men from the waste land to say kind words to our master, and he gave them a rough answer.
15But these men have been very good to us; they did us no wrong and nothing of ours was touched while we were with them in the fields:
16But day and night they were like a wall round us while we were with them, looking after the sheep.
17So now, give thought to what you are going to do; for evil is in store for our master and all his house: for he is such a good-for-nothing person that it is not possible to say anything to him.
18Then Abigail quickly took two hundred cakes of bread and two skins full of wine and five sheep ready for cooking and five measures of dry grain and a hundred parcels of dry grapes and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them on asses.
19And she said to her young men, Go on in front of me and I will come after you. But she said nothing to her husband Nabal.
20Now while she was going down under cover of the mountain on her ass, David and his men came down against her, and suddenly she came face to face with them.
