What does it say?
David accepted Abigail’s advice and married her after the death of her husband, Nabal.
What does it mean?
David reacted strongly to both Nabal’s foolishness and Abigail’s wisdom. He was naturally angered at Nabal’s unwillingness to help him and his men, even though David had protected Nabal’s property. Abigail wisely approached the future king by encouraging him to keep his conscience clear in his response to Nabal’s arrogance. Abigail acted to protect her husband and her household, even though his actions were reckless. Her wisdom saved the lives of Nabal and every man in their employ. Abigail continued to respond with great humility when she accepted David’s offer of marriage.
How should I respond?
Standing up for those who make good decisions is always easier than stepping in to help someone who has acted foolishly. When family members have been reckless, it may seem best to let them deal with the repercussions of their actions. However, the consequences seldom fall on the foolish person alone. Who in your life has put themselves and others at risk by foolishness? Ask the Lord if He’s guiding you to intervene on their behalf; then humbly seek God’s wisdom before you act. Will your actions this week reflect wisdom or foolishness?

1 Samuel records the transition from the time of the Judges to the time of the monarchy. Although they were both selected by God and anointed by Samuel to be king, the divergent paths of King Saul and King David demonstrate that faithfulness and obedience to God are far more important than title or position.
