But in the morning,when the winehad goneout of Nabal,his wifetoldhim thesethings,and his heartdiedwithinhim so that he became[as] a stone.
"The LORDwill smiteyou with madnessand with blindnessand with bewildermentof heart;
"May Goddosoto the enemiesof David,and morealso,ifby morningI leave[as much as] one maleof anywhobelong to him."
"Nevertheless,as the LORDGodof Israellives,whohas restrainedme from harmingyou, unlessyou had comequicklyto meetme, surelythere would not have been leftto Nabaluntilthe morninglight[as much as] one male."
Then Abigailcameto Nabal,and behold,he was holding a feastin his house,like the feastof a king.And Nabal'sheartwas merrywithinhim, for he was verydrunk;so she did not tellhim anythingat alluntilthe morninglight.
About tendayslater, the LORDstruckNabaland he died.
