H5037 Nâbâl

“In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him, and he became like a stone.”

“While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.”

“About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.”

“David’s two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel, had been taken captive.”

“But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are breaking away from their masters.”

“On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife.”

“So David sent ten young men and instructed them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name”

“When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.”
