1 Samuel 25:38-40

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁸ And about ten days after that, the Lord smote Nabal and he died.

³⁹ When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, Who has pleaded the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and kept His servant from evil. For the Lord has returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him as his wife.

⁴⁰ And when the servants of David had come to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, David sent us to you to take you to him to be his wife.
