1 Samuel 25:37 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 25:37

35 So David received from her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, ^a“Go up in peace to your house. See, I have heeded your voice and ^brespected your person.”

36 Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, ^aholding a feast 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, little or much, until morning light.

37 So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.

38 Then it happened, after about ten days, that the Lord ^astruck Nabal, and he died.

39 So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, ^a“Blessed be the Lord, who has ^bpleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has ^ckept His servant from evil! For the Lord has ^dreturned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head.” And David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

40 When the servants of David had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her saying, “David sent us to you, to ask you to become his wife.”

41 Then she arose, bowed her face to the earth, and said, “Here is your maidservant, a servant to ^awash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
