Verse 24 is found in chapter 25 of 1 Samuel. Abigail meets David, bows before him, and asks him not to act out of revenge. She recognizes his future reign and affirms that the Lord is establishing a secure house for David. David accepts the correction and blesses God for sending Abigail to stop him. The scene shows that even David, God’s chosen one, needs correction. Divine providence works through a wise woman who prevents the future king from bearing unnecessary guilt.

und fiel zu seinen Füßen und sprach: Ach, mein Herr, mein sei die Missetat, und laß deine Magd reden vor deinen Ohren und höre die Worte deiner Magd!
Y echose a sus pies, y dijo: Señor mío, sobre mí sea el pecado; mas ruégote hable tu sierva en tus oídos, y oye las palabras de tu sierva.
Se echó a sus pies y dijo: «Señor mío, que la culpa recaiga sobre mí. Te ruego que permitas hablar a tu sierva y escuches sus palabras.
Puis, se jetant à ses pieds, elle dit: A moi la faute, mon seigneur! Permets à ta servante de parler à tes oreilles, et écoute les paroles de ta servante.
E, gittataglisi a’ piedi, disse: Signor mio, sia questa iniquità sopra me; deh! lascia pur che la tua servente parli in tua presenza, e ascolta le parole della tua servente.
E lançou-se a seus pés, e disse: Ah, senhor meu, minha seja a transgressão; deixa, pois, falar a tua serva aos teus ouvidos, e ouve as palavras da tua serva.
