1 Samuel 25:31-40

there will not be remorse or a troubled conscience for my lord because of needless bloodshed or my lord’s revenge. And when the Lord does good things for my lord, may you remember me your servant.”  Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,  who sent you to meet me today! May your discernment be blessed, and may you be blessed. Today you kept me from participating in bloodshed and avenging myself by my own hand.  Otherwise, as surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who prevented me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, Nabal wouldn’t have had any males  left by morning light.” Then David accepted what she had brought him and said, “Go home in peace.  See, I have heard what you said and have granted your request.”  Then Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was in his house, holding a feast fit for a king.  Nabal’s heart was cheerful,  and he was very drunk, so she didn’t say anything  to him  until morning light. In the morning when Nabal sobered up,  his wife told him about these events. His heart died  and he became a stone. About ten days later, the Lord struck Nabal dead.  When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the Lord who championed my cause against Nabal’s insults  and restrained his servant from doing evil.  The Lord brought Nabal’s evil deeds back on his own head.”  Then David sent messengers to speak to Abigail about marrying him. When David’s servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, “David sent us to bring you to him as a wife.”
