Usage: Abigail is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to two distinct individuals: Context: Abigail is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for her wisdom, beauty, and diplomatic skills. She first appears in 1 Samuel 25, where she is described as the intelligent and beautiful wife of Nabal, a wealthy but harsh man from Maon. When Nabal insulted David, who had been protecting his shepherds, Abigail intervened to prevent David from taking vengeance. She quickly gathered a generous gift of food and wine and met David, pleading for mercy and acknowledging David's future kingship. Her actions averted bloodshed and earned David's respect. After Nabal's death, David took Abigail as his wife.
