1 Samuel 25:39-44
39When DavidH1732 heardH8085 that NabalH5037 was deadH4191, he saidH559, “BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, whoH834 has 1pleadedH7378 the causeH7379 of the shameH2781 inflictedH2781 on me by 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 to him as his wifeH802.” 41And she gotH6965 upH6965 5and bowedH2331 with her faceH639 to the groundH776, and saidH559, “BeholdH2009, your slaveH519 is a servantH8198 6to washH7364 the feetH7272 of my lord’sH113 servantsH5650.” 42Then 7AbigailH26 gotH6965 upH6965 quicklyH4116, and rodeH7392 on a donkeyH2543, with her fiveH2568 femaleH5291 attendantsH5291 who 8accompaniedH1980H7272 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.
44But SaulH7586 had givenH5414 his daughterH1323 11MichalH4324, David’sH1732 wifeH802, to PaltiH6406 the sonH1121 of LaishH3919, whoH834 was from 12GallimH1554.
