1S 25:36-44 (Darby)

   ³⁶ Et Abigaïl vint vers Nabal ; et voici, il faisait dans sa maison un festin comme un festin de roi ; et le cœur de Nabal était gai, et il était ivre à l'excès ; aussi elle ne lui raconta aucune chose, ni petite, ni grande, jusqu'à la lumière du matin. ³⁷ Et il arriva le matin, quand le vin de Nabal eut passé, que sa femme lui rapporta ces choses ; et son cœur mourut au dedans de lui, et il devint comme une pierre. ³⁸ Et il arriva, environ dix jours après, que l'Éternel frappa Nabal, et il mourut. ³⁹ Et David apprit que Nabal était mort, et il dit : Béni soit l'Éternel qui a pris en main ma cause touchant l'outrage que m'avait fait Nabal, et qui a retenu son serviteur de faire le mal ! Et l'Éternel a fait retomber le mal de Nabal sur sa tête. Et David envoya parler à Abigaïl, afin de la prendre pour femme. ⁴⁰ Et les serviteurs de David vinrent vers Abigaïl, à Carmel, et lui parlèrent, disant : David nous a envoyés vers toi afin de te prendre pour sa femme. ⁴¹ Et elle se leva et se prosterna le visage contre terre, et dit : Voici, ta servante sera une esclave pour laver les pieds des serviteurs de mon seigneur. ⁴² Et Abigaïl se leva en hâte, et monta sur un âne, et ses cinq jeunes filles qui la suivaient ; et elle s'en alla après les messagers de David, et fut sa femme. ⁴³ David avait pris aussi Akhinoam de Jizreël, et elles furent toutes les deux ses femmes. ⁴⁴ Et Saül avait donné Mical, sa fille, femme de David, à Palti, fils de Laïsh, qui était de Gallim.

1S 25:36-44 (King James)

   ³⁶ 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. ³⁷ 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. ³⁸ And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died. 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. ⁴⁰ And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. ⁴¹ And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord. ⁴² And Abigail hasted, and arose and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife. ⁴³ David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives. ⁴⁴ But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
