• 1 Sam 25:17-35 : 17 Now consider and see what you should do, for disaster is certain for our master and his entire household. He is such a worthless man that no one can speak to him. 18 Then Abigail quickly gathered two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred pressed fig cakes, and she loaded them on donkeys. 19 She said to her servants, "Go ahead of me; I will follow you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal. 20 As she was riding her donkey down into a ravine, David and his men were descending toward her, and she met them. 21 David had just been saying, "It’s been for nothing that I guarded everything belonging to this man in the wilderness. Nothing was missing, yet he has repaid me evil for good. 22 May God punish David’s enemies severely if by morning I leave even one male of all who belong to him alive." 23 When Abigail saw David, she hurriedly dismounted from her donkey, fell facedown at David’s feet, and bowed to the ground with deep respect. 24 She fell at his feet and said, "My lord, let the blame be on me alone. Please let your servant speak to you, and hear the words of your servant. 25 Please, my lord, pay no attention to this worthless man Nabal. He is exactly what his name suggests—his name means ‘fool,’ and folly goes with him. But I, your servant, did not see the men my lord sent. 26 Now, my lord, as surely as the Lord lives and as you live, the Lord has kept you from shedding blood and avenging yourself with your own hand. May your enemies and those intent on harming my lord be as foolish as Nabal. 27 Now let this gift that your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord. 28 Please forgive the offense of your servant, for the Lord will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because my lord fights the Lord’s battles, and no wrongdoing will be found in you as long as you live. 29 Even though someone pursues you to take your life, the life of my lord will be securely bound in the bundle of the living by the Lord your God. But the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling. 30 When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord all the good things he promised and has appointed you ruler over Israel, 31 my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the Lord has brought my lord success, remember your servant. 32 David said to Abigail, 'Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me. 33 Blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand. 34 Otherwise, as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has prevented me from harming you, if you had not hurried to come to meet me, not one male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning. 35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought to him and said, 'Go home in peace. See, I have listened to your words and granted your request.'

• Gen 33:3-9 : 3 He himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother. 4 But Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, kissed him, and they wept. 5 When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, 'Who are these with you?' Jacob replied, 'They are the children whom God has graciously given to your servant.' 6 Then the maidservants came forward with their children and bowed down. 7 Next, Leah and her children came forward and bowed down. Finally, Joseph and Rachel came forward and bowed down. 8 'What do you mean by all these camps I met?' Esau inquired. Jacob replied, 'To find favor in the eyes of my lord.' 9 But Esau said, 'I already have plenty, my brother. Keep what you have for yourself.' 10 Jacob said, 'No, please, if I have found favor in your eyes, accept this gift from me. Seeing your face is like seeing the face of God, now that you have accepted me.' 11 Please accept the blessing that was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me, and I have all I need.' And because Jacob insisted, Esau accepted it.
