1 Samuel 25:38-40

Good News Translation

³⁸ Some ten days later the Lord struck Nabal and he died.

³⁹ When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, “Praise the Lord! He has taken revenge on Nabal for insulting me and has kept me his servant from doing wrong. The Lord has punished Nabal for his evil.”

Then David sent a proposal of marriage to Abigail. ⁴⁰ His servants went to her at Carmel and said to her, “David sent us to take you to him to be his wife.”
