32. And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:
33. And blessed be thou, who hast kept me to day, from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand.
34. Otherwise as the Lord liveth the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil: if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
35. And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face.
36. And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king, and Nabal's heart was merry: for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.
37. But early in the morning when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
38. And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
