29. Someone might chase you to kill you, but the Lord your God will keep you alive. He will throw away your enemies’ lives as he would throw a stone from a sling.
30. The Lord will keep all his promises of good things for you. He will make you leader over Israel.
31. Then you won’t feel guilty or troubled because you killed innocent people and punished them. Please remember me when the Lord brings you success.”
32. David answered Abigail, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me.
33. May you be blessed for your wisdom. You have kept me from killing or punishing people today.
34. As surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, he has kept me from hurting you. If you hadn’t come quickly to meet me, not one of Nabal’s men would have lived until morning.”
35. Then David accepted Abigail’s gifts. He told her, “Go home in peace. I have heard your words, and I will do what you have asked.”
