## 1 Samuel 25:14-16 in Context (Verses 11–19 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/11) Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give *it* unto men, whom I know not whence they *be*?*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/12) So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/13) And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/14) ¶ But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/15) But the men *were* very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/16) They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/17) Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he *is such* a son of Belial, that *a man* cannot speak to him.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/18) ¶ Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched *corn*, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid *them* on asses.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/19) And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
