1 Samuel 25:40
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”
In context
38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.
39 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 for her in marriage.
40 When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”
41 She arose, then bowed facedown and said, “Here is your maidservant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”
42 So Abigail hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s messengers and became his wife.
