SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:41
Y ella se levantó, e inclinó su rostro a tierra, diciendo: He aquí tu sierva, para que sea sierva que lave los pies de los siervos de mi señor.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 41. And she arose, and bowed herself on [her] face to the earth , etc.] As she did before David, ( 1 Samuel 25:23); and did as she would have done had he been present, considering his messengers as representing him and therefore showed the same respect and reverence and did the same honour, as if he had been there in person: and said ; expressed herself in such language as if David had been before her: behold, [let] thine handmaid [be] a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord ; which she said through her great humility, this being one of the meanest services she could be put to; intimating, that she was so far from being worthy to be the wife of such a man that she was only fit and it would be honour enough to her to perform the meanest services to those that waited upon him; or her sense is that it would be enough for her to be the wife of one of David’s servants, and not his; it being the business of a wife, as Ben Gersom observes to wash the feet of her husband.
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 __________________________________________________________________
