1 Samuel 25:32-34

New International Reader's Version

³² David said to Abigail, “Give praise to the Lord. He is the God of Israel. He has sent you today to find me. ³³ May the Lord bless you for what you have done. You have shown a lot of good sense. You have kept me from killing Nabal and his men this day. You have kept me from using my own hands to get even. ³⁴ It’s a good thing you came quickly to meet me. If you hadn’t come, not one of Nabal’s men would have been left alive by sunrise. And that’s just as sure as the Lord, the God of Israel, is alive. He has kept me from harming you.”
