1 SAMUEL 25:41 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
And Abigail rose and bowed with her face to the ground, and said, 'Behold, your handservant is a maid to wash the feet of my lord' — Abigail's acceptance is couched in the language of deepest servitude ('ḥānôkāh lemešorat marḥāṣ ragley ʾadôn'). This humility paradoxically elevates her, for she joins herself to the man whom God has chosen, recognizing his destiny even before the throne.
