32 David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the Lord, God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me.
33 And blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you who have kept me this day from coming to shed blood and from avenging myself with my own hand.
34 For as the Lord, the God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from injuring you, if you had not hurried to come and meet me, surely there would not have been left even one male to Nabal by the morning light.”
35 So David received from her hand what she had brought him and said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. See, I have obeyed your voice, and have granted your request.”
36 Abigail came to Nabal, and he was feasting in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing until the morning light.
37 But in the morning when the wine was gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things. And his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
38 And about ten days after that, the Lord struck Nabal and he died.
