32 David answered Abigail, "Praise the Lord , the God of Israel. Praise God for sending you to meet me. 33 God bless you for your good judgment. You kept me from killing innocent people today. 34 As surely as the Lord , the God of Israel, lives, if you hadn't come quickly to meet me, not one man in Nabal's family would have lived until tomorrow morning. But the Lord prevented me from hurting you." 35 Then David accepted Abigail's gifts. He told her, "Go home in peace. I have listened to your request, and I will do what you asked."
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
David overlooks the rich and seasonable present of Abigail, though pressed with hunger and wearied with travel; but her advice, which disarmed his rage, and calmed his revenge, draws forth these high and affectionate gratulations. These were his joyful and glorious trophies; not over his enemies, but over himself. Genesis 24:27, Exodus 18:10, Ezra 7:27, Psalms 41:12, Psalms 41:13, Psalms 72:18, Luke 1:68, 2 Corinthians 8:16

"What should you do if two men disagree about a bull or a donkey or sheep or clothing or something that is lost? One man says, ‘This is mine,' and the other says, ‘No, it is mine.' Both men should go before the judges who will decide who is guilty. The one who was wrong must pay the other man twice as much as the thing is worth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David said to Abigail,.... Having heard her out, and being overcome with her rhetoric and powerful arguments:
blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me; who put it into her heart to come out and meet him, and endeavour to avert him from his bad design, which his heart was set upon; he saw plainly the hand of God in it, and in the first place acknowledges the goodness of divine Providence, in directing her to take the step she did.
