In this chapter, which is not without its share of black humor, David encounters Nabal and his wife Abigail. Nabal refuses to give David and his troops any provisions, not realizing how strong his military force is. Abigail, however, is gracious to David and apologizes for her rather dense husband. When Nabal finds out how close to death he has come, he promptly dies and David marries his widow.
