Bible Verses About Wife

"If, having made vows or rashly committed herself to an obligation, she gets married;

and her husband hears but holds his peace with her on the day he learns of it, then her vows and obligations she has bound herself to will stand.

But if her husband expresses his disapproval on the day he hears it, he will void the vow which is on her and the obligation to which she has bound herself; and ADONAI will forgive her.

"The vow of a widow, however, or of a divorcee, including everything to which she has obligated herself, will stand against her.

"If a woman vowed in her husband's house or obligated herself with an

and her husband heard it but held his peace with her and did not express disapproval, then all her vows and obligations will stand.

But if her husband makes them null and void on the day he hears them, then whatever she said, vows or binding obligation, will not stand; her husband has voided them; and ADONAI will forgive her.

Her husband may let every vow and every binding obligation stand, or he may void it.

But if her husband entirely holds his peace with her day after day, then he confirms all her vows and obligations; he must let them stand, because he held his peace with her on the day he heard them.

If he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he will bear the consequent guilt."

These are the laws which ADONAI ordered Moshe between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter, if she is a minor living in her father's house.

Also I am acquiring as my wife Rut the woman from Mo'av, the wife of Machlon, in order to raise up in the name of the deceased an heir for his property; so that the name of the deceased will not be cut off from his kinsmen and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today."

The man's name was Naval, and his wife was named Avigayil. The woman was intelligent and attractive, but the man was surly and mean in his actions; he belonged to the clan of Kalev.

But one of Naval's men told Avigayil his wife, "David sent messengers from the desert to greet our master, and he flew on them in a rage,

even though the men had been very good to us - they didn't harm us, and we found nothing missing during the entire time we went with them, while we were out in the countryside.

They served as a wall protecting us day and night all the time we were with them caring for the sheep.

So now decide what you are going to do, for clearly harm is on its way to our master and all his household, but he's so mean that no one can tell him anything."

Avigayil wasted no time in taking 200 loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already prepared, six quarts of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins and 200 fig cakes, and having them loaded on donkeys.

Then she said to her young men, "Go on ahead of me, and I'll come along after you." But she didn't tell her husband Naval.

She was riding her donkey down past the hiding-place in the mountain, when David and his men descended toward her, and she met them.

David had said, "What a waste it has been guarding everything this fellow has in the desert, so that nothing of his was missing! He has repaid me bad for good!"

Then he swore, "May God do the same and more to David's enemies if I leave alive even one male of everything he owns."

When Avigayil saw David, she hurried to dismount from her donkey, fell on her face in front of David and bowed down to the ground.

Having fallen at his feet, she said, "It's all my fault, my lord, all my fault! Please let your servant speak in your ears, and listen to what your servant says.

Please! My lord shouldn't pay any attention to this worthless fellow Naval, because he's just like his name -'Naval' means 'boor,' and his boorishness stays with him. But I, your servant, did not see my lord's men, whom you sent.
