1 Samuel 25:38-40

International Standard Version

³⁸ About ten days later the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.

³⁹ When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, “Blessed be the Lord who has judged the dispute over my insult at the hand of Nabal, and has held back his servant from evil. The Lord has repaid Nabal’s wickedness.”

Then David sent word to Abigail that he would take her as his wife. ⁴⁰ David’s servants went to Abigail at Carmel and told her, “David sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.”
