SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:40
Y los criados de David vinieron a Abigail en el Carmelo, y hablaron con ella, diciendo: David nos ha enviado a ti, para tomarte por su mujer.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 40. And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel , etc.] For though Nabal lived in Maon, yet having possessions in Camel, he had no doubt an house there also; and here Abigail was, and perhaps chose to be after his death, rather than at Maon: they spake unto her ; delivered the message to her they were sent with by David: saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife ; that is, to treat with her about his marriage to her, to propose it to her, and, if they could prevail upon her, to bring her with them, that David might espouse her.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 39-44 - Abigail believed that David would be king over Israel, and greatl esteemed his pious and excellent character. She deemed his proposal of marriage honourable, and advantageous to her, notwithstanding his present difficulties. With great humility, and doubtless agreeably to the customs of those times, she consented, being willing to share his trails. Thus those who join themselves to Christ, must be willing no to suffer with him, believing that hereafter they shall reign with him __________________________________________________________________
