New American Standard Bible
Chapter 25
39
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, 'Blessed be the
Lord
, who has pleaded the cause of the shame inflicted on me by the hand of Nabal, and has kept back His servant from evil. The
Lord
has also returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.' Then David sent a proposal to Abigail, to take her as his wife.
40
When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, 'David has sent us to you to take you to him as
his
wife.'
41
And she got up and bowed with her face to the ground, and said, 'Behold, your slave is a servant to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.'
42
Then Abigail got up quickly, and rode on a donkey, with her five female attendants who accompanied her; and she followed the messengers of David and became his wife.
King James Version

40
And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
41
And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
42
And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

40
When David’s servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, "David sent us to bring you to him as a wife."
41
She stood up, paid homage with her face to the ground, and said, "Here I am, your servant, a slave to wash the feet of my lord’s servants."
42
Then Abigail got up quickly, and with her five female servants accompanying her, rode on the donkey following David’s messengers. And so she became his wife.

, who has avenged the insult I received from Nabal and has kept me from doing it myself. Nabal has received the punishment for his sin.' Then David sent messengers to Abigail to ask her to become his wife.
40
When the messengers arrived at Carmel, they told Abigail, 'David has sent us to take you back to marry him.'
41
She bowed low to the ground and responded, 'I, your servant, would be happy to marry David. I would even be willing to become a slave, washing the feet of his servants!'
42
