1 Samuel 25:32-34

Contemporary English Version

³² David told her:

I praise the Lord God of Israel! He must have sent you to meet me today. ³³ And you should also be praised. Your good sense kept me from taking revenge and killing innocent people. ³⁴ If you hadn't come to meet me so quickly, every man and boy in Nabal's family and in his servants' families would have been killed by morning. I swear by the living Lord God of Israel who protected you that this is the truth.
