你們要製造腫物雕像和毀壞土地的老鼠雕像，要歸榮耀給以色列的神，或許他會對你們、你們的神、你們的土地放鬆他的手。

溫柔地管教那些反對的人；或許神會賜給這些人悔改的心，到真理的知識當中。

或許神會轉回、施憐憫，從他猛烈的怒氣中轉回，使我們不致滅亡。』」

現在請你想好，看看該做什麼，因為災禍一定會臨到我們主人和他的全家。他是個惡劣的人，無法與他說話。」婭比蓋趕快取來兩百個餅、兩皮袋酒、五隻準備好的羊、五細亞烤好的麥子、一百個葡萄餅、兩百個無花果餅，都放在驢背上，然後對僕人們說：「你們在我前面走，看哪，我跟在你們後面。」但她沒有告訴丈夫納巴爾。婭比蓋騎著驢，正從山坡下來，看哪，大衛和他的部下也正迎著婭比蓋下來，她就與他們相遇。此前大衛曾說：「我在曠野守護這人的一切，使他沒有丟失過任何東西，實在是枉然的！他竟對我以惡報善。如果我留下屬於這人的任何一個男丁到早晨，就願神處置大衛，重重地處置！」婭比蓋看見大衛，就趕快從驢子上下來，在大衛面前臉伏於地下拜。婭比蓋俯伏在大衛腳前，說：「我主啊，願這罪責歸於我！請容許你的女僕向你說話，求你聽女僕的話：請我主不要把這惡劣人納巴爾放在心上，因為他的名字怎樣，他的為人也怎樣；他的名字是納巴爾，愚頑也伴隨著他；我——你的女僕並沒有看見我主所派來的僕人們。現在，我主啊，我指著耶和華的永生和你的生命起誓：耶和華阻止了你流人的血，阻止了你親手報仇。願你的仇敵和那些謀害我主的人都像納巴爾一樣！現在，請把婢女給我主帶來的這些禮物賜給跟隨我主的僕人們。求你饒恕女僕的過犯！耶和華必定為我主建造一個持久的家室，因為我主是為耶和華爭戰；在你一生的日子裡，在你身上必找不到任何過犯。「即使有人起來追趕你，尋索你的性命，我主的性命卻必裹藏在耶和華你的神生命的囊中。至於你仇敵的性命，耶和華必甩出去，像從投石索的兜囊中甩出去那樣。當耶和華成就他向我主所應許的一切福份，任命你作以色列領袖的時候，我主就不會因無故殺人流血、親手報仇而心裡內疚、良心受責備。耶和華賜福我主的時候，求你記念你的女僕。」大衛對婭比蓋說：「耶和華以色列的神是當受頌讚的！因他今天派遣了你來迎接我。你的見識是當受稱讚的，你也當受稱讚，因為你今天阻止了我流人的血，阻止了我親手報仇。我指著那阻止我加害你的以色列之神耶和華的永生起誓：要不是你趕來迎接我，到早晨天亮時，屬於納巴爾的男丁一個也不會存留！」大衛從婭比蓋手中接受了她帶來的東西，對她說：「平平安安地回家去吧！看，我已經聽了你的話，顧及了你的情面。」
