Introduction

David's second wife, Abigail, deserves more press than she has gotten. No exegetical book exists on the current market covering her amazing persona, story, and message.

Content Overview

It's set out in 1 Samuel 25, and the author here attempts to spell out why her message was crucial to David's coming kingdom, to the church of all ages, and to believers in the twenty-first century.

Key Themes

She speaks in some detail of the terms of the Davidic Covenant, the grand advancement of David's kingdom, the certainty of God's protection of David during the following forty years when he would reign over Israel, how it would be that David--and all believers--can be eternally judged righteous in God's sight, why David should turn away from attempting to build his own kingdom rather than leaving that business to the Lord, and assuring him that God would give, or bestow, the kingdom to David and all who believe.
