1 Samuel 25:23
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.
In context
21 Now David had just finished saying, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness. Nothing that belongs to him has gone missing, yet he has paid me back evil for good.
22 May God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one of Nabal’s men survive until morning.”
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.
24 She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.
25 My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
