New American Standard Bible
23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and dismounted from her donkey, and fell on her face in front of David (A)and bowed herself to the ground. 24 She fell at his feet and said, “On me [a]alone, my lord, be the blame. And please let your slave speak [b]to you, and listen to the words of your slave. 25 Please do not let my lord [c]pay attention to this [d]worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. [e]Nabal is his name, and stupidity is with him; but I your slave did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down before David with her face to the ground.(A) 24 She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord,(B) and let me speak to you; hear what your servant has to say. 25 Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal.
