1 Samuel 25:20

Compare all

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.”

1 Samuel 25:20

The covert of the hill - Probably a defile or glen, literally a "secret place," as in I Samuel 19:2. She was riding down into this glen from one side, while David and his men were descending the opposite hill. It is perhaps mentioned that she came by this "secret place," because she chose this path to escape the observation of her husband or of anyone else.
