*
Then David said to Abigail : "
Blessed is the LORD God of Israel ,
who sent you this day to meet me !
*
And blessed is your advice and blessed are you ,
because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand .
*
For indeed ,
as the LORD God of Israel lives ,
who has kept me back from hurting you ,
unless you had hurried and come to meet me ,
surely by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal !"
*
So David received from her hand what she had brought him ,
and said to her , "
Go up in peace to your house .
See ,
I have heeded your voice and respected your person ."
*
Now Abigail went to Nabal ,
and there he was ,
holding a feast in his house ,
like the feast of a king .
And Nabal '
s heart was merry within him ,
for he was very drunk ;
therefore she told him nothing ,
little or much ,
until morning light .
*
So it was ,
in the morning ,
when the wine had gone from Nabal ,
and his wife had told him these things ,
that his heart died within him ,
and he became like a stone .
*
Then it happened ,
after about ten days ,
that the LORD struck Nabal ,
and he died .
*
So when David heard that Nabal was dead ,
he said , "
Blessed be the LORD ,
who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal ,
and has kept His servant from evil !
For the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head ."
And David sent and proposed to Abigail ,
to take her as his wife .
