1 Samuel 25:21-23
World English Bible
21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good. 22 God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”[a]
23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.
