1 Samuel 25:39-44 - Who kept his servant from doing wrong

25:39

David heard the news and recognised that the Lord had “upheld his cause”. The Lord had acted against Nabal for treating David with contempt, and had kept David from doing wrong. When we are wronged or are in other serious situations, our thoughts and emotions can become very unreliable. 

25:40-44

David then asked Abigail to become his wife. Abigail was pleased with the outcome. It seems that David had lost Michal, or rather Saul had taken her from David. David had also married “Ahinoam of Jezreel”. David had a weakness for women, and later this would prove to be a serious failing.
