puma shoes 复件 Abigail, David and Naba |
|
When Abigail arrived home [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she found her husband celebrating his wealth with his own royal feast and quite drunk. She stalled telling him anything about her encounter with David. Scripture doesn't say, but the reader can't help but wonder what must have been some of her thoughts. Additionally, interesting to note that perhaps due to his drunkenness [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Nabal hadn't noticed that his wife had been missing, was not participating in his celebration.
Abigail, evidently, was a godly woman. She demonstrated faith and courage as well as sensibility. Her intervention between the affairs of David and her husband, pre
With humility, courageous Abigail confronts David and makes restitution for her husband's ill judgment. The sight and probably the smell of home cooked food may have watered down David's raging temper. No doubt her bravery and beauty may have also influenced his decision to spare her, her ignorant husband, and her household.

"200 loaves of bread;"Two jugs of wine;"Five slaughtered and prepared sheep;"Five measures of roasted grain;"100 clusters of raisins; and,"200 cakes of figs." [2]
In return for sustenance, David and his cavalry offered protection to the sheep shearers of a wealthy livestock owner, Nabal, who lived in Carmel, near Hebron.
Once all of the provisions were prepared and packed she rode out to meet David upon her donkey, unbeknown to her husband.
Why This Tale of Abigail for the Bible?
There doesn't appear to have been any formal or prior agreement between David and Nabal for the services David and his men rendered. However, Nabal was wealthy, and with the protection afforded to him by David and his men, Nabal's wealth was secure. Nabal's livestock consisted of of 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats.[1]
Scripture hints that Nabal is a fool, in sharp contrast to his remarkable wife — a shame that such a sensible woman was chained to this uninspiring man.
David's messengers returned to him declaring that Nabal refused to provide any kind of payment for the protection bestowed.
A fugitive within King Saul's kingdom, David, of the "David and Goliath" fame, and about 600 of his men sought refuge in the wilderness of Paran.
Not only does Nabal refuse any kind of remuneration, he is indignant and arrogant. David, passionate and hot-headed, breathes murder — not only upon Nabal, but his entire household!
Now, no doubt, Abigail probably heard about the defeat of Goliath, so that David's reputation may have gone before him. Nonetheless, this lone woman is about to take upon herself not only the raging David, but 400 of his men [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who were undoubtedly skilled warriors in their own right, and downright ready for their own feast.
Abigail, Nabal's wife, heard of their upcoming fate. Immediately, she ordered the preparation of massive amounts of food items, to include:
Abigail Confronts Drunken Nabal
When the shearing of the sheep was completed, David sent 10 of his young men to Nabal. Per David's instructions, the messengers were to bestow blessings upon Nabal's well-being and that of his household.
David Breathes Murder
Beauty to the Rescue
The next morning, after the liquor had worn off, Abigail tells her husband about the fate that was spared him. Scripture states, "He became like stone," and several days later, he died. Upon hearing of Nabal's demise, David sends a marriage proposal to Abigail, and she consents to marry him.[3]
