1 Samuel 25
36 When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.
37 In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him, and he became like a stone.
38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.
39 On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife.
40 When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”
