1 Samuel 25:19

And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

Ver. 19. Behold, I come after you.] For she knew that none of them all could make her apology so well as herself.

But she told not her husband Nabal.] Lest that humorist should have crossed her enterprise, and marred all.
