1 Samuel 25:36-41
English Standard Version
Chapter 25
36And Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, 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. So she told him nothing at all until the morning light. 37In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. 38And about ten days later the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
39When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the Lord who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from wrongdoing. The Lord has returned the evil of Nabal on his own head." Then David sent and spoke to Abigail, to take her as his wife.
40When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, "David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife."
41And she rose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, "Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."
