Commentary on 1 Samuel 25:35

Theological / Devotional

I have hearkened. The ready acceptance of rebuke is to be commended. David had accustomed himself to witnessing the mysterious workings of Providence, and he saw the divine handiwork in the happenings before him. He thanked God for starting the train of events that culminated in Abigail’s meeting him at precisely the right place and moment, and for the encouragement of such a spiritual-minded soul as Abigail.
