1 Samuel 25:31-34
25:31 Your conscience will not be overwhelmed with guilt
for having poured out innocent blood and for having taken matters into your own hands. When the
Lord has granted my lord success,
please remember your servant.”
25:32 Then David said to Abigail, “Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you this day to meet me!
25:33 Praised be your good judgment! May you yourself be rewarded for having prevented me this day from shedding blood and taking matters into my own hands!
25:34 Otherwise, as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives – he who has prevented me from harming you – if you had not come so quickly to meet me, by morning’s light not even one male belonging to Nabal would have remained alive!”
