1 Samuel 25:32-34

32David said to Abigail, ‘I praise the Lord, Israel's God. He has sent you to meet me here today.

33I thank you for your wisdom. May the Lord bless you because of what you have done to help me. You have stopped me from killing people today. I would have punished these people myself.

34But the Lord has not let me hurt you. As surely as the Lord, Israel's God, lives, I would have killed all the men in Nabal's family before dawn. But you came quickly to meet me.’
