Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Samuel 25:37

37 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 hea[illegible: 1+ letters]t died within him, and he became as a stone .

He was oppressed with Grief, and fainted away through the fear and horror of so great a Mischief, though it was past. As one, who having in the Night galloped over a narrow Plank, laid upon a broken Bridge, over a steep River; when in the Morning he came to review it, was struck Dead with the horror of the danger he was in.
