## 1 Samuel 25:38 in Context (Verses 35–41 KJV)
 
 [35 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/35) 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.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/36) ¶ 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.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/37) 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.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/38) And it came to pass about ten days *after*, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/39) ¶ 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.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/40) 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.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/1-samuel/25/41) 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.
