Abigail

"... There was a man of the clan of Caleb named Nabal, who was from the town of Maon, and who owned land near the town of Carmel. He was a very rich man, the owner of 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats. His wife Abigail was beautiful and intelligent, but he was a mean, bad-tempered man. ...

David said to [Abigail], “Praise the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me! Thank God for your good sense and for what you have done today in keeping me from the crime of murder and from taking my own revenge. The LORD has kept me from harming you. But I swear by the living God of Israel that if you had not hurried to meet me, all of Nabal's men would have been dead by morning!” Then David accepted what she had brought him and said to her, “Go back home and don't worry. I will do what you want.” ...

Some ten days later the LORD struck Nabal and he died. ...

Then David sent a proposal of marriage to Abigail. His servants went to her at Carmel and said to her, “David sent us to take you to him to be his wife.” Abigail bowed down to the ground and said, “I am his servant, ready to wash the feet of his servants.” She rose quickly and mounted her donkey. Accompanied by her five maids, she went with David's servants and became his wife."

~ 1 Samuel 25 GNB

David was not only attracted to Abigail's beauty, but also to her character. Abigail was intelligent and wise. And she was proactive and quick to action. David recognised that he needed a partner who can help him lead and help him follow the LORD.

Praise the LORD for all Abigail-like people in the world.
