40 His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail, “David sent us to take you so you can become his wife.”
41 Abigail bowed facedown on the ground and said, “I am your servant. I’m ready to serve you and to wash the feet of my master’s servants.”
42 Abigail quickly got on a donkey and went with David’s messengers, with her five maids following her. And she became David’s wife.
43 David also had married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So they were both David’s wives.
44 Saul’s daughter Michal was also David’s wife, but Saul had given her to Paltiel son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
