The wife of Nabal, who dwelt in the district of Carmel(1 Sa.25:3) After Nabal's death she became the wife of David. By her David had a son called Chileab (2 Sa.3:3)
The Spirit presents her as a woman of good understanding, as the Bride of Christ. For this reason Abigail's role in relation to David is similar to Rachel has with Jacob. Her personal name meaning, "my father rejoiced," by the same line of reasoning evokes the joy in heaven while in the world of the flesh she was paired with a churlish man; and a son of Belial the epithet coming from His workforce. Under the circumstances bearing the cross and following Jesus applies in the world where the children of light are unequally yoked with children of wrath.
Abigail tries to make peace between her husband and David. An occasion illustrating her prudence and David, a stand-in for Christ is illustrated in this passage.
"And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me."(1 Sa.25:32-33) Notice the usage 'this day'. Abigail's hour was that moment. Now is the day of Salvation.
