1 Samuel 25:21-23
Amplified Bible
21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have protected and guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missing of all that belonged to him; and he has repaid me evil for good. 22 May God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if by morning I leave [alive] even one [a]male of any who belong to him.”
23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and dismounted from the donkey, and [b]kneeled face downward before David and bowed down to the ground [in respect].
