09:025:022 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave
           of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that
           pisseth against the wall.

09:025:023 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the
           ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to
           the ground,

09:025:024 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let
           this iniquity be:  and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak
           in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.

09:025:025 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even
           Nabal:  for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and
           folly is with him:  but I thine handmaid saw not the young men
           of my lord, whom thou didst send.

09:025:026 Now therefore, my lord, as the lord liveth, and as thy soul
           liveth, seeing the lord hath withholden thee from coming to
           shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now
           let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as
           Nabal.

09:025:027 And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto
           my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow
           my lord.

09:025:028 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid:  for the
           lord will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord
           fighteth the battles of the lord, and evil hath not been found
           in thee all thy days.

09:025:029 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul:  but
           the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with
           the lord thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall
           he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

09:025:030 And it shall come to pass, when the lord shall have done to my
           lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning
           thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

09:025:031 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart
           unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or
           that my lord hath avenged himself:  but when the lord shall
           have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

09:025:032 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the lord God of Israel,
           which sent thee this day to meet me: 

09:025:033 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast
           kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging
           myself with mine own hand.

09:025:034 For in very deed, as the lord God of Israel liveth, which hath
           kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and
           come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by
           the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
