And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart[ was] merry within him, for he[ was] very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became[ as] a stone.And it came to pass about ten days[ after], that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.
