← 1 Samuel 25:19	1 Samuel 25:20 (KJV)	1 Samuel 25:21 →
And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.	And it was [so, as] she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.	Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this [fellow] hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that [pertained] unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
