TSK · Micah 7:9

So Samuel told him everything. He did not hold back anything from him. Eli said,“The LORD will do what he pleases.”

When David heard that Nabal had died, he said,“Praised be the LORD who has vindicated me and avenged the insult that I suffered from Nabal! The LORD has kept his servant from doing evil, and he has repaid Nabal for his evil deeds.” Then David sent word to Abigail and asked her to become his wife.
