good wife and her foolish husband

Narrator: When Saul was still king of Israel it wasn't safe for David to be in Jerusalem so he and the men loyal to him lived all over the place. At this time David and his men were in the desert of Mayan. David: All right men this looks like a good place to stay for a while. Narrator: David heard of a rich man named Nabal who is shearing his sheep nearby in Carmel. David: You go to Nabal and tell him we've been good to his shepherds. Ask him if we can have food like doughnuts. At Nabal's garden Nabal: Doughnuts. My beautiful doughnuts. I love you doughnuts. David's man enter David's man: Excuse me Nabal. David want to know if we can have some of your doughnuts. Nabal: No. I don't who this 'David' is, but I will not be sharing any of my doughnuts. David's man: But we have been protecting your shepherds. And we are kind of hungry ( touching his food). Nabal: (Hit his hand) I don't care. Go away. David's man returned to David David's man: He said 'no' David: How dare he! Prepare for battle. Nabal will pay for this disrespect. David and his man marched toward the Nabal. Narrator: Thankfully one of the servants told Nabal's wife Abigail what was going on. She was a lot more level-headed than David and Nabal. Abigail enter Abigail: Hey David. What's going on? David: Your husband just disrespected me and now he's going to pay Abigail: I'm not surprised. His name just mean 'fool'. Want some cake (taking cake from the table and offering to David)? David: That look tasty. You can't distract me with cake. Abigail: I also brought you doughnuts (taking from her husband's hand and giving to David) David: Doughnuts? Abigail: Yes David. Doughnuts. Chocolate cake and Marshmallows. David: Marshmallows are the best Abigail: Great then it is settled. You and your men stay here and eat. You don't need to go to battle David: But I like going into battle. Abigail: When you become king, you'll be happy not to have needless bloodshed on your conscience David: Yeah. You're right. Abigail: I usually am. Narrator: And so Abigail was wise enough to prevent her entire household from being killed. Abigail gave doughnuts and marshmallows to David Nabal: Abigail. Why would you give David my doughnuts? Abigail: I also gave him marshmallows Nabal: Now you have gone to far. Abigail: No. You went to far. You could have gotten us killed. And for what doughnuts? David: Don't forget about the marshmallows. Abigail: David and his men were good to us. You should have repaid them with kindness. You aren't very good at choosing your battles. And I mean that literally David: Yeah Nabal. I have an army. What do you have? Abigail: Not helping David Nabal: Well I have a wife with good judgment that keeps me out of trouble. Abigail: Good answer. Maybe next time try to use your own good judgment. Narrator: Nabal was longer a foolish husband.
