  • 1 Sam 25:18-22 : 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."
