1 Samuel 25:39-42 ▼

39 When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, |Praised be the LORD who has vindicated me and avenged the insult that I suffered from Nabal! The LORD has kept his servant from doing evil, and he has repaid Nabal for his evil deeds.| Then David sent word to Abigail and asked her to become his wife.

40 So the servants of David went to Abigail at Carmel and said to her, |David has sent us to you to bring you back to be his wife.|

41 She arose, bowed her face toward the ground, and said, |Your female servant, like a lowly servant, will wash the feet of the servants of my lord.|

42 Then Abigail quickly went and mounted her donkey, with five of her female servants accompanying her. She followed David's messengers and became his wife.
