1 SAMUEL 25:39 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
1 Sam 25:381 Sam 25:40
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
And about ten days later the LORD struck Nabal, and he died — the ten days between the report and the death allow the fullness of judgment to manifest. The phrase 'vayyakkēhu YHWH vayyāmōt' makes clear that the LORD himself is the agent of judgment; Nabal's death is not coincidence but divine sentence.
