1 Samuel 25:39 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 25:39

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.”

42 So Abigail rose in haste and rode on a donkey,¹ attended by five of her maidens; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 David also took Ahinoam ^aof Jezreel, ^band so both of them were his wives.

44 But Saul had given ^aMichal his daughter, David’s wife, to¹ Palti the son of Laish, who was from ^bGallim.
