1 SAMUEL 25:37 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.”
So she told him nothing until the morning light — Abigail's silence through the night is a masterful exercise in timing; Nabal's drunken sleep protects him from the shock that might have hastened his death. The darkness between Nabal's feast and the dawn becomes a symbolic boundary between his ignorant celebration and the reckoning to come.
