1 Samuel 25:22-24
Evangelical Heritage Version
22 May God punish the enemies of David[a] severely and double it, if by the morning light I leave alive so much as one person who urinates against a wall.”[b]
23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey. She bowed and fell facedown on the ground in David’s presence. 24 She fell at his feet and said, “To me, my lord—charge the guilt to me! Please let your servant speak to you. Listen to the words of your servant.
