And please let your maidservant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant. 25 Let not, please, my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, upon Nabal; for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. And I your maidservant did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent. 26 And now my lord, as YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, since YHWH has held you back from coming to bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, let now your enemies be as Nabal and those seeking harm against my lord. 27 And this blessing that your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow at the feet of my lord. 28 Forgive, please, the trespass of your maidservant, for YHWH will surely make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord fights the battles of YHWH, and evil is not found in you throughout your days. 1 Samuel 25:24-28, Berean Literal Bible.
