1 Samuel 25:36-44

36Then Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was in his house, holding a feast fit for a king. Nabal’s heart was cheerful, and he was very drunk, so she didn’t say anything to him until morning light.

37In the morning when Nabal sobered up, his wife told him about these events. His heart died and he became a stone.

38About ten days later, the Lord struck Nabal dead.

39When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the Lord who championed my cause against Nabal’s insults and restrained his servant from doing evil. The Lord brought Nabal’s evil deeds back on his own head.” Then David sent messengers to speak to Abigail about marrying him.

40When David’s servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, “David sent us to bring you to him as a wife.”

41She stood up, paid homage with her face to the ground, and said, “Here I am, your servant, a slave to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”

42Then Abigail got up quickly, and with her five female servants accompanying her, rode on the donkey following David’s messengers. And so she became his wife.

43David also married Ahinoam of Jezreel, and the two of them became his wives.

44But Saul gave his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
