09:025:035 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him,
           and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have
           hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

09:025:036 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his
           house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry
           within him, for he was very drunken:  wherefore she told him
           nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

09:025:037 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out
           of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his
           heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

09:025:038 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the lord smote
           Nabal, that he died.

09:025:039 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be
           the lord, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the
           hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil:  for the
           lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. 
           And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him
           to wife.

09:025:040 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel,
           they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take
           thee to him to wife.

09:025:041 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and
           said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet
           of the servants of my lord.

09:025:042 And Abigail hasted, and arose and rode upon an ass, with five
           damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the
           messengers of David, and became his wife.

09:025:043 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of
           them his wives.

09:025:044 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to
           Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.

09:026:001 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not
           David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before
           Jeshimon?

09:026:002 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph,
           having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek
           David in the wilderness of Ziph.

09:026:003 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before
           Jeshimon, by the way.  But David abode in the wilderness, and
           he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

09:026:004 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was
           come in very deed.

09:026:005 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: 
           and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son
           of Ner, the captain of his host:  and Saul lay in the trench,
           and the people pitched round about him.
