  • 1 Sam 25:18-22 : 18 So Abigail quickly took two hundred loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five prepared sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred lumps of pressed figs. She loaded them on donkeys 19 and said to her servants,“Go on ahead of me. I will come after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal. 20 Riding on her donkey, she went down under cover of the mountain. David and his men were coming down to meet her, and she encountered them. 21 Now David had been thinking,“In vain I guarded everything that belonged to this man in the wilderness. I didn’t take anything from him. But he has repaid my good with evil. 22 God will severely punish David, if I leave alive until morning even one male from all those who belong to him!”

    13She sought out wool and flax, then worked happily with her hands.

    14She was like the merchant ships; she would bring in her food from afar.

    15Then she rose while it was still night, and provided food for her household and a portion to her female servants.

    16She considered a field and bought it; from her own income she planted a vineyard.

    17She clothed herself in might, and she strengthened her arms.

    18She perceived that her merchandise was good. Her lamp would not go out in the night.

    19She extended her hands to the spool, and her hands grasped the spindle.

    20She opened her hand to the poor, and extended her hands to the needy.

    21She would not fear for her household in winter, because all of her household were clothed with scarlet,

    22because she had made coverings for herself; and because her clothing was fine linen and purple.

    23Her husband is well-known in the city gate when he sits with the elders of the land.

    24She made linen garments then sold them, and traded belts to the merchants;

    25her clothing was strong and splendid; and she laughed at the time to come.

    26She has opened her mouth with wisdom, with loving instruction on her tongue.

    27Watching over the ways of her household, she would not eat the bread of idleness.

    28Her children have risen and called her blessed; her husband also has praised her:

    29“Many daughters have done valiantly, but you have surpassed them all!”

    30Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting. A woman who fears the LORD– she makes herself praiseworthy.

    31Give her credit for what she has accomplished, and let her works praise her in the city gates.
