1 Samuel 25:18

David And Abigail

¹⁷ Consider what you should do because our master and his whole household are doomed. He is such a worthless man that it is useless to talk to him. ¹⁸ Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread and two jugs of wine and five sheep already prepared and five measures of roasted grain and a hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys. ¹⁹ Lead the way, she told her young men, and I will follow you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal about it.
