18. Abigail quickly took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep ready for cooking, five seahs of roasted grain, one hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes. She loaded all this on donkeys
19. and told her servants, "Go on ahead of me. I’ll be right behind you." But she didn’t tell her husband Nabal.
20. As she was riding her donkey, going down a trail on the hillside, David and his soldiers appeared, descending toward her, and she met up with them.
21. David had just been saying, "What a waste of time—guarding all this man’s stuff in the wilderness so that nothing of his went missing! He has repaid me evil instead of good!
22. May God deal harshly with me, David, and worse still if I leave alive even one single one who urinates on a wall belonging to him come morning!"
23. When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and fell facedown before him, bowing low to the ground.
