And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal hath Jehovah returned upon his own head. And David sent and spake concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
Which thing whanne Dauid hadde herd, Nabal deed, he seide, Blessid be þe Lord God, þat vengide þe cause of my schenschip of þe hond of Nabal, and kepte his seruaunt fro yuel, and þe Lord yeldide þe malice of Nabal in to þe heed of hym. Þerfor Dauid sente, and spak to Abigail, þat he wolde take hir wijf to hym.
