39 And David hears Nabal is dead, and he says, Blessed - Yah Veh, who pleads the plea of my reproach from the hand of Nabal; and restrains his servant from evil: for Yah Veh returns the evil of Nabal on his own head. And David sends and words with Abi Gail to take her to him to woman:
40 and the servants of David come to Abi Gail to Karmel, and they word to her, saying, David sends us to you, to take you to him to woman.
41 And she rises and prostrates herself on her nostrils to the earth and says, Behold, your maid - a maid to bathe the feet of the servants of my adoni.
42 And Abi Gail hastens and rises and rides on a he burro with five of her lasses who go at her feet; and she goes after the angels of David and becomes his woman.
43 And David takes Achiy Noam of Yizre El; and they both are also his women.
