He was a very rich man that did not give any heed to David. The Bible says "The Lord struck Nabal and he died." It does not say how he died, only that he did.
Nabal was the husband of Abigail, who became King David's wife after Nabal died. He was a man "churlish and evil in his doings;" (1Samuel 25.3)

∙ 13y ago1 Samuel 25 tells of a wealthy landowner named Nabal. Verse 3 says he was surly and mean in his dealings. Later in the chapter we find he was greedy and treated his benefactors with contempt. Also, in verse 25, his wife says he is a fool.

Who is Abigail in The Bible?
I'm pretty sure there is only one Abigail in the Bible, and that is Nabal's wife. When David, the future king, went to ask Nabal for some food, because David had watched Nabal's servants in the wilderness, but Nabal blew them off (pardon the phrase; it's not literal). David was furious and swore to kill Nabal and everyone in his household. Abigail heard how cruel her husband had been, so she gathered food to take to David and his 600 men. David forgave Nabal and accepted Abigail's offering. Then, when ten days later God struck Nabal down, David took Abigail as his wife. (David had other wive, including Michael, Saul's daughter) Hope it helped! God bless you.
