Contextual Overview

³⁶ Abigail went back to Nabal, who was at home having a feast fit for a king. He was drunk and in a good mood, so she did not tell him anything until the next morning. ³⁷ Then, after he had sobered up, she told him everything. He suffered a stroke and was completely paralyzed. ³⁸ Some ten days later the Lord struck Nabal and he died. ³⁹ When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, "Praise the Lord ! He has taken revenge on Nabal for insulting me and has kept me his servant from doing wrong. The Lord has punished Nabal for his evil." Then David sent a proposal of marriage to Abigail. ⁴⁰ His servants went to her at Carmel and said to her, "David sent us to take you to him to be his wife." ⁴¹ Abigail bowed down to the ground and said, "I am his servant, ready to wash the feet of his servants." ⁴² She rose quickly and mounted her donkey. Accompanied by her five maids, she went with David's servants and became his wife. ⁴³ David had married Ahinoam from Jezreel, and now Abigail also became his wife. ⁴⁴ Meanwhile, Saul had given his daughter Michal, who had been David's wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from the town of Gallim.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, about ten days [after],.... After he had lain in this stupid and senseless manner for ten days:

that the Lord smote Nabal, that he died; with some disease or increased the grief of his heart, and the fears of his mind that he died therewith.
