Join us in exploring 1 Samuel 25, where David encounters Abigail, likened to a Proverbs 31 woman, and her husband Nabal, a fool.
Abigail, described as beautiful and discerning, demonstrates wisdom by preventing David from taking matters into his own hands.
In contrast, Nabal embodies the fool, marked by his harsh, rude, and selfish behavior. Despite David’s protection of Nabal’s flocks, Nabal refuses assistance, provoking David’s initial intent for revenge.
Abigail’s intervention, providing food and asking David to remember her when Nabal faces his rightful end, can certainly be seen as the Lord’s intervention through her.
