And Nabal’s<MH5037> heart<MH3820> was cheerful<MH2895> within<MH5921> him, for he was very<MH5704, 3966> drunk<MH7910>; so she did not tell<MH5046> him anything<MH1697> <a href="#fn">[ag]</a>at all<MH6996b, 1419> until<MH5704> the morning<MH1242> light<MH216>. <a href="/1_samuel/25-37.htm">37</a>But in the morning<MH1242>, when the wine<MH3196> had gone<MH3318> out<MH3318> of Nabal<MH5037>, his wife<MH802> told<MH5046> him these<MH428> things<MH1697>, and his heart<MH3820> died<MH4191> within<MH7130> him so that he became<MH1961> like a stone<MH68>. <a href="/1_samuel/25-38.htm">38</a>About ten<MH6235> days<MH3117> later, the LORD<MH3068> struck<MH5062> Nabal<MH5037> and he died<MH4191>. David Marries Abigail<a href="/1_samuel/25-39.htm">39</a>When David<MH1732> heard<MH8085> that Nabal<MH5037> was dead<MH4191>, he said<MH559>, “Blessed<MH1288> be the LORD<MH3068>, who<MH834> has pleaded<MH7378> the cause<MH7379> of the shame<MH2781> inflicted<MH2781> on me by the hand<MH3027> of Nabal<MH5037>, and has kept<MH2820> back<MH2820> His servant<MH5650> from evil<MH7463a>. The LORD<MH3068> has also returned<MH7725> the evildoing<MH7463a> of Nabal<MH5037> on his own head<MH7218>.” Then David<MH1732> sent<MH7971> <a href="#fn">[ah]</a>a proposal<MH1696> to Abigail<MH26>, to take<MH3947> her as his wife<MH802>. <a href="/1_samuel/25-40.htm">40</a>When the servants<MH5650> of David<MH1732> came<MH935> to Abigail<MH26> at Carmel<MH3760>, they spoke<MH1696> to her, saying<MH559>, “David<MH1732> has sent<MH7971> us to you to take<MH3947> you to him as his wife<MH802>.” <a href="/1_samuel/25-41.htm">41</a>And she got<MH6965> up<MH6965> and bowed<MH2331c> with her face<MH639> to the ground<MH776>, and said<MH559>, “Behold<MH2009>, your slave<MH519> is a servant<MH8198> to wash<MH7364> the feet<MH7272> of my lord’s<MH113> servants<MH5650>.” <a href="/1_samuel/25-42.htm">42</a>Then Abigail<MH26> got<MH6965> up<MH6965> quickly<MH4116>, and rode<MH7392> on a donkey<MH2543>, with her five<MH2568> female<MH5291> attendants<MH5291> who <a href="#fn">[ai]</a>accompanied<MH1980, 7272> her; and she followed<MH1980, 310> the messengers<MH4397> of David<MH1732> and became<MH1961> his wife<MH802>. <a href="/1_samuel/25-43.htm">43</a>David<MH1732> had also taken<MH3947> Ahinoam<MH293> of Jezreel<MH3157>, and they both<MH1571, 8147> became<MH1961> his wives<MH802>. <a href="/1_samuel/25-44.htm">44</a>But Saul<MH7586> had given<MH5414> his daughter<MH1323> Michal<MH4324>, David’s<MH1732> wife<MH802>, to Palti<MH6406> the son<MH1121> of Laish<MH3919b>, who<MH834> was from Gallim<MH1554>.<A name="fn"></a> [a] 2 Lit great [b] 3 Lit of good understanding [c] 5 Lit come to [d] 6 Lit To life [e] 8 Lit good [f] 11 Lit from where they are [g] 14 Lit bless [h] 15 Lit all the days [i] 17 Lit see [j] 17 Lit son of Belial [k] 22 Lit who urinates against the wall [l] 24 Lit myself [m] 24 Lit in your ears [n] 25 Lit set his heart to [o] 25 Lit man of Belial [p] 25 I.e., fool [q] 26 Lit coming in with blood [r] 26 Lit helping [s] 27 Lit blessing [t] 27 Lit walk at the feet of [u] 28 Or permanent [v] 29 Lit soul [w] 29 Lit soul [x] 29 Lit soul [y] 29 Lit in the midst of [z] 31 Lit stumbling of heart [aa] 31 Lit helped [ab] 33 Lit coming into blood [ac] 33 Lit helping [ad] 34 Lit who urinates against the wall [ae] 35 Lit your voice [af] 35 Lit lifted up your face [ag] 36 Lit small or large [ah] 39 Lit and spoke [ai] 42 Lit walked at her feet </div> <div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1971, 1977, 1995, 2020 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
