After meeting David, Abigail returned home, and found Nabal having a
big party and was celebrating like a king.
He was very fully drunk, the next morning when Nabal was sober,
Abigail told him what had happened.
As a result he had a stroke, and was paralyzed on his bed like a
stone.
Ten days later, the LORD struck him, and he died.
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he praised the LORD, who had
avenged the insult he received from Nabal and prevented him from doing it
himself.
Nabal received the punishment for his sins. Then David sent
messengers to Abigail to ask her to become his wife. She was happy to marry
David so she bowed low to the ground and responded.
Quickly getting ready, she took five servant girls as attendants,
mounted her donkey, and went with David’s messengers.
David also married Ahinoam from Jezreel, making both of them his
wives.
Saul on the other hand gave his daughter Michal,
David’s wife, to a man from Gallim named Palti son of Laish. (1 Samuel 25:36-44 NLT)
To
ponder:
Isaiah 61:7-8 says, Instead of shame
and dishonor, you will enjoy a double share of honor. You will possess a double
portion of prosperity in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.
The Lord says, I will faithfully reward my people for their
suffering and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Today let’s be STILL and know that He is God in our life.
