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.
43 David also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. Both she and Abigail were his wives.
44 Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti, Laish’s son, who was from Gallim.
