Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וַתְּמַהֵ֕ר וַתֵּ֖רֶד
and,hurried and,got_off
This expression conveys a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word hurried tells in what way Abigail got down. Alternate translation: [and she hurriedly got down]
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
וַתִּפֹּ֞ל לְאַפֵּ֤י דָוִד֙ עַל־פָּנֶ֔יהָ וַתִּשְׁתַּ֖חוּ אָֽרֶץ
and,fell before,faces_of Dāvid on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face_of,her and,bowed ground
This was a symbolic action by which Abigail was showing great honor to David. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. See how you translated the similar expression in [20:41](../20/41.md). Alternate translation: [and she knelt down and pressed her face to the ground in front of David to honor him]
25:1-44 This episode about Nabal falls between two accounts in which Saul pursued David and David spared Saul’s life. Nabal was similar to Saul.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
