1 Samuel 25:14

Told Abigail. What turn of events attached a woman of such a disposition to such a rash, impetuous man as Nabal is not known, but often two people of diametrically opposite natures are brought together in the most intimate relationships of husband and wife. This was probably not the first time that Abigail had been called upon to act as peacemaker between her husband and his associates. Little did Abigail realize in her daily ministrations to Nabal that she was developing a clearness of spiritual perception and a strengthening of her womanly intuition that would one day enable her to keep David from a serious error (verses 18–28).
