1 Samuel 25:32-34

Expanded Bible

³² David answered Abigail, “·Praise [Blessed be] the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me today. ³³ May you be blessed for your ·wisdom [good sense/judgment; discernment]. You have kept me from ·killing [bloodshed] or ·punishing people [^Lavenging myself with my own hand] today. ³⁴ As surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, he has kept me from ·hurting [harming] you. If you hadn’t come quickly to meet me, not one of Nabal’s ·men [^Lthose who urinate against a wall] would ·have lived until [still be alive in the] morning.”
