1 Samuel 25:39-43 Samuel Anoints David

39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise be to the Lord, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal’s wrongdoing down on his own head.”
Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife.

40 His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail, “David has sent us to you to take you to become his wife.”

41 She bowed down with her face to the ground and said, “Here is your maidservant, ready to serve you and wash the feet of my master’s servants.”

42 Abigail quickly got on a donkey and, attended by her five maids, went with David’s messengers and became his wife.

43 David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both were his wives.
