1 Samuel 25:15

¹³And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men: and two hundred abode with the stuff.

¹⁴And one of the servants reported to Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them.

— 1 Samuel 25:15 —

¹⁶And when we were in the field, they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the days that we were with them feeding the flock.

¹⁷And now do thou consider, and see what thou wilt do; for mischief is determined against our lord and against his house; and he is a vile character, and one cannot speak to him.
