23When Abigail saw David, she quickly dismounted from the donkey, fell facedown before him, and bowed to the ground.

24She fell at his feet and said, “Let the guilt fall on me alone, my lord. Please let your servant speak to you, and listen to what your servant has to say.

25Please, my lord, do not take this scoundrel Nabal seriously, for he lives up to his name: his name is Nabal, and he is full of folly. But I, your servant, did not see the young men you sent.
