1 Samuel 25:21-23
New International Reader's Version
21 David had just said, “Everything we’ve done hasn’t been worth a thing! I watched over that fellow’s property in the desert. I made sure none of it was stolen. But he has paid me back evil for good. 22 I won’t leave even one of his men alive until morning. If I do, may God punish me greatly!”
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey. She bowed down in front of David with her face toward the ground.
