David and Abigail
“[Abigail] was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband...was surly and mean” (1 Sam. 25:3).
Abigail is the first women in the Old Testament (TaNaK) to be described as intelligent before her beauty. “She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband...was surly and mean” (1 Sam. 25:3). As one writer noted, Abigail “demonstrates the suppleness of her mind” by giving “the longest speech in the TaNak” by a woman. Here’s the speech.
Pardon your servant, my lord & let me speak to you; hear what your servant has to say. 25 Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool, & folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent. 26 And now, my lord, as surely as the Lord your God lives & as you live, since the Lord has kept you from bloodshed & from avenging yourself with your own hands, may your enemies & all who are intent on harming my lord be like Nabal. 27 And let this gift, which your servant has brought to my lord, be given to the men who follow you.
28 “Please forgive your servant’s presumption. The Lord your God will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because you fight the Lord’s battles, & no wrongdoing will be found in you as long as you live. 29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, the life of my lord will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the Lord your God, but the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling. 30 When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord every good thing, he promised concerning him & has appointed him ruler over Israel, 31 my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the Lord your God has brought my lord success, remember your servant (1 Sam. 25:24-31)
