1 Samuel 25:36-44
36And AbigailH26 cameH935 to NabalH5037; and, behold, he held a feastH4960 in his houseH1004, like the feastH4960 of a kingH4428; and Nabal’sH5037 heartH3820 was merryH2896 within him, for he was veryH3966 drunkH7910: therefore she toldH5046 him nothingH1697, lessH6996 or moreH1419, until the morningH1242 lightH216. 37But it came to pass in the morningH1242, when the wineH3196 had leftH3318 NabalH5037, and his wifeH802 had toldH5046 him these thingsH1697, that his heartH3820 diedH4191 withinH7130 him, and he became as a stoneH68. 38And it came to pass about tenH6235 daysH3117 after, 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 his servantH5650 from evilH7451: for the LORDH3068 hath returnedH7725 the wickednessH7451 of NabalH5037 upon his own headH7218. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and talkedH1696 with AbigailH26, to takeH3947 her to himself for a wifeH802. 40And when the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 had comeH935 to AbigailH26 to CarmelH3760, they spokeH1696 to her, sayingH559, DavidH1732 hath sentH7971 us to thee, to takeH3947 thee to him for a wifeH802. 41And she aroseH6965, and bowedH7812 herself on her faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559, Behold, let thy handmaidH519 be a servantH8198 to washH7364 the feetH7272 of the servantsH5650 of my lordH113. 42And AbigailH26 hastedH4116, and aroseH6965, and rodeH7392 upon a donkeyH2543, with fiveH2568 damselsH5291 of hers that wentH1980 afterH7272 her; and she wentH3212 afterH310 the messengersH4397 of DavidH1732, and became his wifeH802.1 43DavidH1732 also tookH3947 AhinoamH293 of JezreelH3157; and they were also bothH8147 of them his wivesH802. 44But SaulH7586 had givenH5414 MichalH4324 his daughterH1323, David’sH1732 wifeH802, to PhaltiH6406 the sonH1121 of LaishH3919, who was of GallimH1554.2
