1 Samuel 25:25

1 Samuel 25:25

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.

25 Please, let not my lord regard this scoundrel Nabal. For as his name is, so is he:² Nabal is his name, and folly is with him! But I, your maidservant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

26 Now therefore, my lord, ^aas the Lord lives and as your soul lives, since the Lord has ^bheld you back from coming to bloodshed and from ^cavenging yourself with your own hand, now then, ^dlet your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be as Nabal.

27 And now ^athis present which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
