David Marries Abigail
1 Samuel 25:39-44
39
When David heard that Naval was dead, he said, "Blessed be ADONAI for having taken my side in the matter of Naval's insult and for having prevented his servant from doing anything bad. On the contrary, ADONAI has caused Naval's bad deeds to return on his own head."Then David sent a message that he wanted to make Avigayil his own wife.
40
When David's servants reached Avigayil in Karmel, they said to her, "David has sent us to you to bring you to him to be his wife."
41
She got up, bowed with her face to the ground, and said, "Your servant is here to serve you, to wash the feet of my lord's servants."
42
Avigayil then hurried, set out and rode off on a donkey, with five of her female servants following her; she went after David's messengers; and she became his wife.
43
David also took Achino'am of Yizre'el; both of them became his wives.
44
Meanwhile, Sha'ul had given Mikhal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Layish, who came from Gallim.
