1 Samuel 19:4-5
Context19:4 So Jonathan spoke on David’s behalf 10 to his father Saul. He said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David, for he has not sinned against you. On the contrary, his actions have been very beneficial 11 for you. 19:5 He risked his life 12 when he struck down the Philistine and the Lord gave all Israel a great victory. When you saw it, you were happy. So why would you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death for no reason?”

1 Samuel 25:39
Context25:39 When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, “Praised be the Lord who has vindicated me and avenged the insult that I suffered from Nabal! 22 The Lord has kept his servant from doing evil, and he has repaid Nabal for his evil deeds.” 23 Then David sent word to Abigail and asked her to become his wife.
1 Samuel 27:11
