·Debug: verse number 7818On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the lord who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the lord has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking for her in marriage.
