1 Samuel 25:23-25
International Standard Version
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got down from the donkey and fell on her face before David, prostrating herself on the ground. 24 She fell at his feet and pleaded, “Your majesty, let the guilt be on me alone, and please let your servant[a] speak to you.[b] Listen to the words of your servant.[c] 25 Please, your majesty, don’t pay attention to this worthless man Nabal, for he’s just like his name. Nabal[d] is his name and folly is his constant companion. But I, your servant,[e] didn’t see your majesty’s young men whom you sent.
