1 Samuel 25:21-23
GOD’S WORD Translation
21 David had thought, “I guarded this man’s stuff in the desert for nothing! Not one of his possessions was missing. Yet, he has paid me back with evil when I was good to him. 22 May God punish me [a] if I leave even one of his men [b] alive in the morning.”
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got down from her donkey. She immediately bowed down in front of David with her face touching the ground.
