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.
KJV
Quod cum audisset David mortuum Nabal, ait : Benedictus Dominus, qui judicavit causam opprobrii mei de manu Nabal, et servum suum custodivit a malo, et malitiam Nabal reddidit Dominus in caput ejus. Misit ergo David, et locutus est ad Abigail, ut sumeret eam sibi in uxorem.
Vulgate
καὶ ἤκουσεν Δαυεὶδ καὶ εἶπεν Εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὃς ἔκρινεν τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ ὀνειδισμοῦ μου ἐκ χειρὸς Ναβάλ, καὶ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ περιεποιήσατο ἐκ χειρὸς κακῶν· καὶ τὴν κακίαν Ναβὰλ ἀπέστρεψεν Κύριος εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐλάλησεν περὶ Ἀβειγαίας λαβεῖν αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα.
LXX
