1. Samuelsbok 25,37

Nabal

35 Så tok David imot fra hennes hånd det hun hadde brakt ham, og sa til henne, "Gå opp til ditt hus i fred. Se, jeg har lyttet til deg og innvilget din forespørsel."

36 Da kom Abigail til Nabal, og se, han holdt et festmåltid i sitt hus, som et kongemåltid. Og Nabals hjerte var lystig i ham, for han var meget beruset; så hun fortalte ham ingenting i det hele tatt før morgenlyset.

Men om morgenen, da vinen hadde gått ut av Nabal, fortalte hans kone ham disse tingene, og hans hjerte døde i ham, og han ble som en stein.

38 Omkring ti dager senere, lot Herren Nabal dø.

39 Da David hørte at Nabal var død, sa han, "Velsignet være Herren, som har ført saken for den fornærmelsen som ble rettet mot meg ved Nabals hånd, og har holdt sin tjener fra ondskap. Herren har også vendt Nabals ondskap tilbake på hans eget hode." Så sendte David et frieri til Abigail, for å ta henne til sin kone.
