In the foreground, Abigail brings provisions to David's men, two men hide behind a rock and a central figure wears a crown and carries a rosary. The Latin superscription reads, "He who conquers himself merits the foremost crown," and the text below, "Who is better than he who conquers a city in might? To him the reins of prudence restrain the passionate mind".
