'Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from avenging myself with my own hand!' — David praises Abigail's ṭûbat-śēkhel (wise discernment) as the instrument of God's restraint. His words ('naśaʿtinî hayôm mēʾêšet dāmîm') show that he recognizes how close he came to spiritual catastrophe had she not intervened.
