1 Samuel 25:32–39

32 Then David said to Abigail: j“Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! 33 And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kkept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand. 34 For indeed, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has lkept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely mby morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!” 35 So David received from her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, n“Go up in peace to your house. See, I have heeded your voice and orespected your person.”

36 Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, pholding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light. 37 So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone. 38 Then it happened, after about ten days, that the Lord qstruck Nabal, and he died.

39 So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, r“Blessed be the Lord, who has spleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has tkept His servant from evil! For the Lord has ureturned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head.”

And David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife.
