13 Then David said to his servants, 'Let each one gird his sword.' And each one girded his sword. And David also girded his sword. And about four hundred men followed David. But two hundred remained behind with the supplies.
14 Then it was reported to Abigail, the wife of Nabal, by one of his servants, saying: 'Behold, David has sent messengers from the desert, so that they might speak kindly to our lord. But he turned them away.
15 These men were good enough to us, and were not troublesome. Neither did we ever lose anything, during the entire time that we conversed with them in the desert.
16 They were a wall to us, as much in the night as in the day, during all the days that we were with them, pasturing the sheep.
17 For this reason, consider and realize what you should do. For evil has been decided against your husband and against your house. And he is a son of Belial, so that no one is able to speak to him.'
