1 Samuel 25:34-36

International Standard Version

³⁴ For as surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, the one who restrained me from harming you—indeed, had you not quickly come to meet me, by dawn^[a] there wouldn’t be a single male^[b] left to Nabal.”

³⁵ David took from her what she had brought him and told her, “Go up to your house in peace. Look, I’ve heard your request and will grant it.”

Nabal’s Death

³⁶ Abigail returned to Nabal, and he was there in his house holding a festival like the festival of a king. Nabal’s heart was glad, and he was very drunk, so she didn’t tell him anything at all^[c] until morning.
