Who was Abigail in the Bible?
Some men don’t deserve their wives. Abigail was probably the best woman Nabal could afford, and he got even more than he bargained for when he arranged to marry her. Abigail was beautiful and more suited than he was to manage his wealth. Nabal took this wife Abigail, for granted.
In spite of his shortcomings, Nabal’s household did what they could to keep him out of trouble. This loyalty must have been inspired by Abigail. Although her culture and her husband placed a low value on her, she made the most of her skills and opportunities. David was impressed with her abilities, and when Nabal died, he married her.
Abigail was an effective counselor to both of the men in her life, working hard to prevent them from making rash moves. By her swift action and skillful negotiation, she kept David from taking vengeance on Nabal. Abigail saw the big picture and left plenty of room for God to get involved.
Do you, like Abigail, look beyond the present crisis to the big picture? Do you leave room for God to get involved? Do you know God? Do you know Jesus?
Are you certain that you are going to heaven? If the answer is no or your not really sure and there is something stirring inside you at this very moment to do this, then all you have to do is say a small prayer and you can be assured of your name being added to the Book of Life. Go to the prayer of salvation and pray the words out loud and believe in your heart and you will be saved.
Abigail’s story is told in 1 Samuel 25 – 2 Samuel 2. She is also mentioned in 1 Chronicles 3
