1 Samuel 25:32

AbigailDavid
Praise and worshipGratitude

30 When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel,

31 then my lord will have no remorse or guilt of conscience over needless bloodshed and revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your maidservant.”

Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!

33 Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.

34 Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, then surely no male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning light.”
