God created the woman as a companion and a helper to Adam. In many ways, women are smarter, more sophisticated, and often more perceptive than men. The Bible says that Abigail was a sensible and wise woman, and we learn about her in 1 Samuel 25. After Samuel had died and was buried at his home in Ramah, David and his men had gone to the Wilderness of Paran
where they met a very wealthy man named Nabal, who was a descendant of Caleb. He was foolish, but his wife, Abigail, was not. Hearing that Nabal was shearing his sheep, David sent messengers to Nabal to ask him to share provisions with him and his men. For herdsmen, sheepshearing was a time of great celebration and thankfulness, so this was not an unusual request,
but Nabal’s response was. The Bible says that Nabal was crude and selfish, and he commanded David’s men to get lost—he would share nothing! When David heard Nabal’s answer, he told his men to get their swords; they were going to take out Nabal! Who could stop him?
