1 Samuel 25:39-44

39When DavidH1732 heardH8085 that NabalH5037 was deadH4191, he saidH559, “BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, whoH834 has 1pleadedH7378 the causeH7379 of my reproachH2781 from the handH3027 of NabalH5037 and 2has keptH2820 backH2820 His servantH5650 from evilH7463. The LordH3068 has also returnedH7725 the evildoingH7463 of NabalH5037 on his own headH7218.” Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 34a proposalH1696 to AbigailH26, to takeH3947 her as his wifeH802. 40When the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 cameH935 to AbigailH26 at CarmelH3760, they spokeH1696 to her, sayingH559, “DavidH1732 has sentH7971 us to you to takeH3947 you as his wifeH802.” 41She aroseH6965 5and bowedH7812 with her faceH639 to the groundH776 and saidH559, “BeholdH2009, your maidservantH519 is a maidH8189 6to washH7364 the feetH7272 of my lord’sH113 servantsH5650.” 42Then 7AbigailH26 quicklyH4116 aroseH6965, and rodeH7392 on a donkeyH2543, with her fiveH2568 maidensH5291 who 8attendedH1980H7272 her; and she followedH1980H310 the messengersH4397 of DavidH1732 and becameH1961 his wifeH802.

43DavidH1732 had also takenH3947 AhinoamH293 of 9JezreelH3157, and 10they bothH1571H8147 becameH1961 his wivesH802.

44Now SaulH7586 had givenH5414 11MichalH4324 his daughterH1323, David’sH1732 wifeH802, to PaltiH6406 the sonH1121 of LaishH3919, whoH834 was from 12GallimH1554.
