1 Samuel 25:18
Compare all
16 They were aa wall to us both by night and day, all the time we were with them keeping the sheep.  
17 Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for aharm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a bscoundrel that one cannot speak to him.”  
18 Then Abigail made haste and atook two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already dressed, five seahs of roasted grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.  
19 And she said to her servants, a“Go on before me; see, I am coming after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.  
20 So it was, as she rode on the donkey, that she went down under cover of the hill; and there were David and his men, coming down toward her, and she met them.
21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belongs to him. And he has arepaid me evil for good.  
22 aMay God do so, and more also, to the enemies of David, if I bleave cone male of all who belong to him by morning light.”  
23 Now when Abigail saw David, she adismounted quickly from the donkey, fell on her face before David, and bowed down to the ground.  
24 So she fell at his feet and said: “On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be! And please let your maidservant1 speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant.

1 Samuel 25:18

Abigail took, etc. - This she did without his leave, because it was a case of apparent necessity, for the preservation of herself, and husband, and all the family from imminent ruin. And surely, that necessity which dispenseth with God's positive commands, might dispense with the husband's right, in this case. Bottles - Casks or rundlets.
