1 Samuel 25:39-41

Living Bible

³⁹ When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the Lord! God has paid back Nabal and kept me from doing it myself; he has received his punishment for his sin.”

Then David wasted no time in sending messengers to Abigail to ask her to become his wife. ⁴⁰ When the messengers arrived at Carmel and told her why they had come, ⁴¹ she readily agreed to his request.
