40 When his (beloved) servants came to Abigail (my father is joy) at Carmel (garden-land), they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”

41 She arose, bowed facedown, and said, “Here is your servant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”

42 So Abigail (my father is joy) hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s (beloved) messengers and became his wife.

43 David (beloved) had also married Ahinoam (my brother is delight) of Jezreel (God sows). So she and Abigail were both his wives.

44 But Saul (desired) had given his daughter Michal (who is like God), David’s (beloved) wife, to Palti (Paltiel) son of Laish (lion), who was from Gallim (springs).
