1 Samuel
Chapters 25:38-44
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
38About ten days later, the Lord gave him a stroke and Nabal died.
39When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the Lord! He judged Nabal to be wrong for insulting me and kept me from doing something wrong. The Lord made Nabal pay for what he did.” Then David sent a message to Abigail and asked her to be his wife.
40His servants went to Carmel with this message, “David sent us to get you. He wants you to be his wife.”
41Abigail bowed her face to the ground. She said, “I am willing to be your slave woman, even if it is only to wash the feet of my master’s servants.”
42Abigail quickly got on a donkey and brought five of her maids with her. They followed David’s messengers. So Abigail became David’s wife.
43David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. Both Ahinoam and Abigail were David’s wives.
44David was also married to Saul’s daughter Michal, but Saul had taken her away from him and had given her to a man named Palti, son of Laish. Palti was from the town named Gallim.
