40 And the servants of David come to Abigail at Carmel, and speak to her, saying, “David has sent us to you to take you to himself for a wife.” 41 And she rises and bows herself—face to the earth—and says, “Behold, your handmaid [is] for a maidservant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.” 42 And Abigail hurries and rises, and rides on the donkey; and [there are] five of her young women who are going at her feet; and she goes after the messengers of David, and is to him for a wife. 43 And David has taken Ahinoam from Jezreel, and they are—even both of them—for wives to him; 44 and Saul gave his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Phalti son of Laish, who [is] of Gallim. 1 Samuel 25:40-44, Literal Standard Version.
