David's response to Abigail's appeal 25:32-35

David heard the Lord's voice behind Abigail's words. Consequently he blessed the Lord, her discernment, and her. God had used David's conscience to keep him from killing Saul (24:5), and now He had used Abigail's appeal to keep him from killing Nabal. Wise David, who listened to the words of a strange woman, contrasts with foolish Nabal, who would not listen to the words of his wise wife or his fearful servants. Thus godly Abigail, another wise person, became a blessing to David. Earlier he, a godly person, had been a blessing to her and her household. She kept him from sinning (v. 33). In return he blessed her further by sparing the males of Nabal's household (v. 35).
