He divided the people with him, along with the flocks, herds, and camels, into two camps. 9 He thought, 'If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp that is left will escape.' 10 Then Jacob said, 'O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD, who said to me, 11 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown to your servant. With only my staff, I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. 12 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from Esau, for I am afraid of him. He might come and strike me, the mothers, and the children. 13 But you said, 'Surely I will treat you well and make your descendants as numerous as the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.' 14 So he spent the night there, and from what he had with him, he prepared a gift for his brother Esau. 15 Two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams. 16 Thirty camels nursing their young, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten male donkeys. 17 He placed each herd in the care of his servants, and he instructed them, 'Go ahead of me and keep some distance between the herds.' 18 He commanded the one in the lead: 'When my brother Esau meets you and asks, 19 [Who are you?

For he thought, 'I will appease him with the gift that goes ahead of me. After I see him, perhaps he will accept me.' 22 So the gift passed on ahead of him while he stayed that night in the camp. 23 During the night, Jacob got up, took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 24 After he had sent them across the stream, he also sent over all his possessions. 25 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. 26 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was dislocated as they wrestled. 27 Then the man said, 'Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.' But Jacob replied, 'I will not let you go unless you bless me.' 28 The man asked him, 'What is your name?' 'Jacob,' he answered.
• 1 Sam 25:18-35 : 18 Then Abigail quickly gathered two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred pressed fig cakes, and she loaded them on donkeys. 19 She said to her servants, "Go ahead of me; I will follow you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal. 20 As she was riding her donkey down into a ravine, David and his men were descending toward her, and she met them. 21 David had just been saying, "It’s been for nothing that I guarded everything belonging to this man in the wilderness. Nothing was missing, yet he has repaid me evil for good. 22 May God punish David’s enemies severely if by morning I leave even one male of all who belong to him alive." 23 When Abigail saw David, she hurriedly dismounted from her donkey, fell facedown at David’s feet, and bowed to the ground with deep respect. 24 She fell at his feet and said, "My lord, let the blame be on me alone. Please let your servant speak to you, and hear the words of your servant. 25 Please, my lord, pay no attention to this worthless man Nabal. He is exactly what his name suggests—his name means ‘fool,’ and folly goes with him. But I, your servant, did not see the men my lord sent. 26 Now, my lord, as surely as the Lord lives and as you live, the Lord has kept you from shedding blood and avenging yourself with your own hand. May your enemies and those intent on harming my lord be as foolish as Nabal. 27 Now let this gift that your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord. 28 Please forgive the offense of your servant, for the Lord will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because my lord fights the Lord’s battles, and no wrongdoing will be found in you as long as you live. 29 Even though someone pursues you to take your life, the life of my lord will be securely bound in the bundle of the living by the Lord your God. But the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling. 30 When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord all the good things he promised and has appointed you ruler over Israel, 31 my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the Lord has brought my lord success, remember your servant. 32 David said to Abigail, 'Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me. 33 Blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand. 34 Otherwise, as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has prevented me from harming you, if you had not hurried to come to meet me, not one male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning. 35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought to him and said, 'Go home in peace. See, I have listened to your words and granted your request.'
