Instead of helping he insulted David. David got angry and was about to fight Nabal and destroy him. Nabal’s wife, Abigail heard about it and quickly resorted to solving the problem. She went to David and spoke to him wisely. She said David was going to make a big mistake because of his anger. She warned him that he was going to do what God does not like. David realized his mistake and quickly put an end to his anger. God fought for David, and Nabal died of shock within days.
