(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.
What must have been the thoughts of David when these tidings were brought him. Reader! it is a blessed thing when God's people can leave all their affairs with their God. The apostle's advice is founded on this; Romans 12:19-21.
