1 Samuel 25:36-44
36And AbigailH26 cameH935 to NabalH5037; and, beholdH2009, he held a feastH4960 in his houseH1004, like the feastH4960 of a kingH4428; and Nabal’sH5037 heartH3820 was merry withinH5921 him, for he was veryH3966 drunkenH7910: wherefore sheH1931 toldH5046 him nothingH3808, lessH6996 or moreH3966, untilH5704 the morningH1242 lightH216. 37And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the morningH1242, when the wineH3196 was goneH3318 outH3318 of NabalH5037, that his wifeH802 toldH5046 him theseH428 things, and his heartH3820 diedH4191 withinH7130 him, and he becameH1961 as a stoneH68. 38And it cameH1961 to passH1961 aboutH1961 tenH6235 daysH3117 afterH1961, that the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 NabalH5037, that he diedH4191. 39And when DavidH1732 heardH8085 that NabalH5037 was deadH4191, he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, that hath pleadedH7378 the causeH7379 of my reproachH2781 from the handH3027 of NabalH5037, and hath keptH2820 backH7725 his servantH5650 from evilH7451: and the evil-doing of NabalH5037 hath the LORDH3068 returnedH7725 uponH802 his own headH7218. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and spake concerning AbigailH26, to takeH3947 herH7971 to him to wifeH802. 40And when the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 were comeH935 to AbigailH26 to CarmelH3760, they spake unto herH413, sayingH559, DavidH1732 hath sentH7971 usH413 unto thee, to takeH3947 thee to him to wifeH802. 41And sheH6965 aroseH6965, and bowedH7812 herselfH7812 with herH559 faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559, BeholdH2009, thine handmaidH519 is a servantH5650 to washH7364 the feetH7272 of the servantsH5650 of my lordH113. 42And AbigailH26 hasted, and aroseH6965, and rodeH7392 uponH5921 an ass, with fiveH2568 damsels of hers that followedH310 herH5921; and sheH1980 wentH1980 afterH310 the messengersH4397 of DavidH1732, and becameH1961 his wifeH802. 43DavidH1732 also tookH3947 AhinoamH293 of JezreelH3157; and they becameH1961 bothH8147 of them his wivesH802. 44NowH5414 SaulH7586 had givenH5414 MichalH4324 his daughterH1323, David’sH1732 wifeH802, to PaltiH6406 the SonH1121 of Laish, whichH834 was of GallimH1554.
