When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal has Yahweh returned on his own head. David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.

Commentators note that David's praise was not for revenge but for God's perfect justice. God vindicated David's honor and, in His timing, brought judgment upon Nabal alone. This teaches us to entrust our cause to God, who judges righteously and keeps His servants from the sin of taking vengeance into their own hands.
