1 Samuel 25:37-39

Lexham English Bible

³⁷ And then^[a] in the morning when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these words. Then his heart died within him,^[b] and he became like a stone. ³⁸ And then,^[c] about ten days later, Yahweh struck Nabal and he died.

³⁹ When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, “Blessed be Yahweh who has vindicated the case of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and he has kept back his servant from evil; but Yahweh has returned the evil of Nabal on his own head.” Then David sent and spoke with Abigail to take her for his wife.
