1 Samuel 25:18

David And Abigail

¹⁷ So know this and consider what you will do, for evil is determined against our master and all his house. For he is such a wicked man that one cannot speak to him. ¹⁸ Then Abigail made haste and took 200 loaves, two skins of wine, five sheep already dressed, five measures of parched grain, 100 clusters of raisins, and 200 cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys. ¹⁹ And she said to her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
