BIBLE WOMEN NAMED ABIGAIL:

ABIGAIL, THE CARMELITESS


1 SAMUEL 25: 3, 23, 32, 39, & 42

3 The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.

23 Now when Abigail saw David, she dismounted quickly from the donkey, fell on her face before David, and bowed down to the ground.

32 Then David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

39 So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the Lord, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept His servant from evil! For the Lord has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head.” And David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

42 So Abigail rose in haste and rode on a donkey, attended by five of her maidens; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.

1 CHRONICLES 3: 1

Now these were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: The firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second, Daniel, by Abigail the Carmelitess;

ABIGAIL,

DAUGHTER OF NAHASH

2 SAMUEL 17: 24-26

24 Then David went to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 

25 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the army instead of Joab. This Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra, an Israelite, who had gone in to 

Abigail the daughter of Nahash,

sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.

26 So Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.

1 CHRONICLES 2: 16-17

16 Now their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. And the sons of Zeruiah were Abishai, Joab, and Asahel—three.

17 Abigail bore Amasa, and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.

1 CHRONICLES 19: 1

It happened after this that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
