1 Samuel 25:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off her ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
24 And fell at his feet, and said, Oh, my lord, I have committed the iniquity, and I pray thee, let thine handmaid speak [a]to thee, and hear thou the words of thine handmaid.
25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this wicked man, Nabal: for as his name is, so is he: [b]Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord whom thou sentest.
