SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:42
Y levantándose luego Abigail con cinco doncellas que la seguían, se montó en un asno, y siguió a los mensajeros de David, y fue su mujer.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 42. And Abigail hasted and arose , etc.] She had no objection nor hesitation in her mind about marrying David but at once consented, and immediately prepared for her journey, having as high an opinion, and as great an esteem of David, as he of her; and though she was rich and he peer this was no obstacle in the way, she knew and believed he would be king of Israel, ( 1 Samuel 25:30,31); and though he could not support her, she had enough to support herself, and supply him, till he came to the throne: and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her ; whom she took with her, partly to wait upon her, and partly for her honour, and the honour of David, whom she was going to marry: and she went after the messengers of David : not following them directly, but some time after they were gone; partly for the sake of decency, and partly that they going before might acquaint David with the success of their message, and he might prepare to receive Abigail when she came: and became his wife ; he espoused and married her according to the custom of the times.
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 __________________________________________________________________
