Information about the
Name of Abigail :

Abigail was wise and beautiful, but her husband was pretty much a loser. David met Abigail on his way to kill Nabal. You see, Nabal had refused David and his soldiers food and provisions after the men watched over Nabal's sheep and protected them from harm's way. When Abigail learned about her husband's ungracious behavior, she went out to intercept David before he could carry out the murder. She made offerings to the future king, wisely understanding his spiritual superiority to her "naughty" husband. David thanks Abigail, accepts the offerings and sends her away in peace. Shortly thereafter, Nabal died of a heart attack (struck by the Lord) and so David asked Abigail to be his wife.
