*
And blessed be thy advice ta #
am #,
and blessed be thou ,
which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood ,
and from avenging myself with mine own hand .
*
For in very deed ,
as the LORD God of Israel liveth ,
which hath kept me back from hurting thee ,
except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me ,
surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall .
*
So David received of her hand that which she had brought him ,
and said unto her ,
Go up in peace to thine house ;
see ,
I have hearkened to thy voice ,
and have accepted thy person .
*
And Abigail came to Nabal ;
and ,
behold ,
he held a feast in his house ,
like the feast of a king ;
and Nabals heart was merry within him ,
for he was very drunken :
wherefore she told him nothing ,
less or more ,
until the morning light .
*
But it came to pass in the morning ,
when the wine was gone out of Nabal ,
and his wife had told him these things ,
that his heart died within him ,
and he became as a stone .
*
And it came to pass about ten days after ,
that the LORD smote Nabal ,
that he died .
