1 Samuel 25:17-19
Living Bible
17 You’d better think fast, for there is going to be trouble for our master and his whole family—he’s such a stubborn lout that no one can even talk to him!”
18 Then Abigail hurriedly took two hundred loaves of bread, two barrels of wine, five dressed sheep, two bushels of roasted grain, one hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes, and packed them onto donkeys.
19 “Go on ahead,” she said to her young men, “and I will follow.” But she didn’t tell her husband what she was doing.
