1 Samuel 25:38-40

Young's Literal Translation

³⁸ And it cometh to pass, [in] about ten days, that Jehovah smiteth Nabal, and he dieth,

³⁹ and David heareth that Nabal [is] dead, and saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant hath kept back from evil, and the wickedness of Nabal hath Jehovah turned back on his own head;' and David sendeth and speaketh with Abigail, to take her to him for a wife.

⁴⁰ And the servants of David come in unto Abigail at Carmel, and speak unto her, saying, `David hath sent us unto thee to take thee to him for a wife.'
