Context Readings

David And Abigail

21 David thought: I guarded this man's possessions in the desert for nothing! Not one of his possessions was missing. Yet, he paid me back with evil when I was good to him. 22 May God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if by morning I leave as much as one male of any who belong to him.” 23 Abigail saw David and quickly got down from her donkey. She immediately bowed down in front of David with her face touching the ground.
