Abigail

The wise wife of a foolish sheepherder named Nabal, a mean and stingy man whose name means “fool.” When Nabal refused to share food with David and his men, David wanted revenge. Abigail’s quick actions as a peacemaker saved her family from disaster. When Abigail told Nabal how close he had come to disaster, Nabal had a stroke that paralyzed him. Ten days later he died. Abigail married David. They had one son, Chileah.
