“And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.”
King James Version (KJV)
25:17 Can not speak - But he flies into a passion.
25:18 Abigail took, &c. - This she did without his leave, because it was a case of apparent necessity, for the preservation of herself, and husband, and all the family from imminent ruin. And surely, that necessity which dispenseth with God's positive commands, might dispense with the husband's right, in this case. Bottles - Casks or rundlets.
