When Abigail went back to Nabal, he was in the house, eating like a king. He was very drunk and in a good mood. So she told him nothing until the next morning. In the morning when he was not drunk, his wife told him everything. His heart stopped, and he became like stone. About ten days later the LORD struck Nabal and he died. When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the LORD! Nabal insulted me, but the LORD has supported me! He has kept me from doing wrong. The LORD has punished Nabal for his wrong.” Then David sent a message to Abigail, asking her to be his wife. His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail, “David sent us to take you so you can become his wife.” Abigail bowed facedown on the ground and said, “I am your servant. I’m ready to serve you and to wash the feet of my master’s servants.” Abigail quickly got on a donkey and went with David’s messengers, with her five maids following her. And she became David’s wife.
