    34For indeed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal.

    38And it came about ten days later that the LORD struck Nabal, and he died.

    39And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept His servant from evil; for the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head.

    5And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name;

    25Please do not let my lord regard this worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I, your maidservant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

    26Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, since the LORD has restrained you from coming to bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be as Nabal.

    27And now this blessing, which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
