1 Samuel 25:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey. She bowed down in front of David with her face toward the ground. ²⁴ She fell at his feet. She said, “Pardon your servant, sir. Please let me speak to you. Listen to what I’m saying. Let me take the blame myself. ²⁵ Please don’t pay any attention to that evil man Nabal. His name means Foolish Person. And that’s exactly what he is. He’s always doing foolish things. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to see the men you sent.
