1 Samuel 25:33-35

Contemporary English Version

³³ And you should also be praised. Your good sense kept me from taking revenge and killing innocent people. ³⁴ If you hadn't come to meet me so quickly, every man and boy in Nabal's family and in his servants' families would have been killed by morning. I swear by the living Lord God of Israel who protected you that this is the truth.

³⁵ David accepted the food Abigail had brought. “Don't worry,” he said. “You can go home now. I'll do what you asked.”
