39 When David heard Nabal was dead, he said, |Blessed be the LORD, who defended me against the insults of Nabal and kept me from doing wrong. The LORD has turned Nabal's own wickedness back on him.| Then David sent men [on his behalf] to propose marriage to Abigail. 40 When David's servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they told her, |David has sent us to you so that we can take you to him to be his wife.| 41 She bowed down with her face touching the ground. |I am ready to serve,| she said. |I am ready to wash the feet of my master's servants.| 42 Then Abigail quickly got up and rode on a donkey with five of her female servants following her. So she went with David's messengers and became his wife. 1 Samuel 25:39-42, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
