Abigail, an example of a woman of God - Evangelical Messages from God's Word


1 Now Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
2 There was a man in Maon who had their possessions were in Carmel. This man was very rich because he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3 It was called the man Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail, the woman was sensible and fair, but man, it was hard, and evil in his actions, and was of the house of Caleb.
4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
5 and sent her ten young men, telling them: Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal and ask him in my name, as it is.
6 Thus you shall say, Peace be with thee, and with thy house, and all that thou hast.
7 Now therefore, I have heard that you have shearers. Now the shepherds have just to be with us, they did no wrong, nor anything they disappeared around the time they were in Carmel.
8 Question him to thy young men, and they will tell you. They think therefore thy servants grace in thy sight, because we come in good time. Give therefore thy servants and your son David, what you find by hand.
Arriving 9, because the young men of David spake to Nabal all these words in David's name, and fell silent.
10 At that Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who flee to his master.
I'd take 11, because my bread and my water and my meat from cattle that degolei for my shearers, and give it to men who do not know where they come from?
12 Then the young men of David stood on the way and returned, came to announce to you all these words.
13 And David said to his men: Each gird on his sword. And each girded his sword, and David also girded on his, and went up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred stayed with the baggage.
14 one of the young men, however, told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master, and he destratou.
15 But these men have been very good to us, and we have never been exacerbated them, and nothing disappeared in all the time that they live with when we were in the field.
16 From wall around served us well for day and night, every day while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 Behold therefore now and see what you should do, because the damage is all determined against our master and against all his house, and he is such a son of Belial, that no one can speak to him.
18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep roasted, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
19 And he said unto his young men, Go on before me: behold, I come after you. But not declared Nabal, her husband.
20 And when she mounted a donkey, going down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came to the meeting, and she met them.
21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him, and he repaid me evil for good.
22 God do so to David, and more also, if I leave until dawn, all that belongs to Nabal, a single man.
23 Sell therefore Abigail saw David, she hurried and dismounted from her donkey and fell on his face before David, bowing to the ground,
24 and, prostrate at his feet, said: Oh, my lord, is my iniquity! Let your servant speak in your ears, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
25 I beseech thee, my lord, if you do not make this man of Belial, namely Nabal: for this is he what is your name. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom you sent.
26 Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, for the Lord kept you from derramares blood and from avenging yourself with your own hand, as Nabal are now your enemies and those who seek to do evil against my lord.
27 now accepted this gift which your maidservant has brought to my lord be given to the young men that follow my lord.
28 Forgive, then, the transgression of thy handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord wars the wars of the LORD, and shall not be found evil in thee all thy days.
29 If someone stand up to pursue you and to seek your life, then the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God: but the lives of your enemies he sling out, as the concave a sling.
30 When the Lord shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has told you, and established thee prince over Israel,
31 then, my lord, you have no heart in this sorrow or remorse for this thou hast shed blood causeless, or that there is avenged my lord himself. And when the Lord dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.
32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me!
33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be you, who today kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself with mine own hand!
34 For indeed the Lord liveth the God of Israel that kept me from harm you, that if you do not you and not me vieras had hurried to meet, would not have been Nabal until the morning light even a child.
35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him, and said unto him, Go up in peace to thine house; see that obeyed thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
36 Now when Abigail came to Nabal, behold, he made a feast in his house, like the feast of king and Nabal's heart was merry, for he was very drunken: wherefore she gave him to understand any of it, not just not much until the morning light.
37 And it was so, that in the morning, with free wine already Nabal, his wife told him these things, so that his heart sank, and he became as a stone.
38 After ten days, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that I avenged the insult I received from Nabal, and has kept his servant from evil, breaking down the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. Then David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his wife.
40 Then came the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they told him, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee for his wife.
41 And she arose, and bowed with his face to the ground, and said, Behold, thy maid servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
42 And Abigail hasted, and arose and rode upon an ass, and taking the five girls who attended him, went after the messengers of David, that his wife.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and both were his wives.
44 For Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti, son of Laish, who was Galim.
1 Samuel 25

In this passage we see that Abigail was an intelligent woman, wise and unwise bonita.Depois that her husband made the affront to David, he was very nervous before the arrogance and greed of man. David went completely determined to end it all and remind everyone that the avaricious Nabal.

Abigail did not think much. Once she realized the situation was grave, she moved quickly and was to meet with David to apologize. During the meeting she humbled himself and took upon himself the arrogant and thoughtless act of her husband. For she has undertaken so she protected her family and her home.

What David could ever imagine is that during his journey he would find the way a woman so blessed as to sensible and intelligent Abigail. This woman of God ... Woman of God? ... Yes! ... Woman of God. She walked with the Lord. Abigail had intimacy with God and the fact that she know the Word of God tells us that. That was enough for a man so anointed as David listened and took into account their wise counsel.

She advised David that he did not do justice with their own hands so he would not lose the peace and not his fellowship with God. She said words that made David stop to think, to calm down and change his mind. Abigail was based on two biblical passages:

Vengeance is mine, and recompense - Deuteronomy 32:35

Thou shalt not kill. - Exodus 20:13

Once David heard what Abigail told him immediately he came to his senses and recognized the great wisdom of her about to bless her because she had calmed him and called him to observe the commandments of God.

What is most interesting about the behavior and character of this woman of God is the fact that it is very simple, active, full of attitude, wise, brave, and a godly woman.

When Abigail advised the young man that proved very angry and nervous she was not talking to any man but to the future King David, just a man full of anointing and the Fear of God.

We can see that Abigail did very well without her use their feminine attributes since she was a beautiful woman. What made her stand out was precisely his wisdom, his humility and his knowledge of the Word of God.

David was so impressed with the wisdom, the beauty and character of Abigail who, when he learned that she had become a widow he immediately invited her to become one of his wives. As always, quickly, and with great humility, Abigail promptly accepted the invitation and became one of the wives of David.

Who would not want to have someone by your side, helpful, humble, wise, good counsel and especially God fearing Father

Amen and thank God. Stay in the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
