And David passed on a little way from Ros; and behold, Ziba the servant of Memphibosheth [came] to meet him; and he had a couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves, and a hundred [cakes of] raisins, and a hundred [cakes of] dates, and a bottle of wine.

And the king said to Ziba, What do you mean to do with these? And Ziba said, The donkeys [are] for the household of the king to sit on, and the loaves and the dates [are] for the young men to eat, and the wine [is] for them that are faint in the wilderness to drink.

And Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep readily dressed, and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon donkeys.

But the godly have devised wise [measures], and this counsel shall stand.

Behold, I have made you small among the Gentiles: you are greatly dishonored. The pride of your heart has elated you, dwelling [as you do] in the holes of the rocks, [as one that] exalts his habitation, saying in his heart, Who will bring me down to the ground?
