combined circle

We studied Abigail at our bible study this week.  As I have said before we are studying the women of the Bible.  I don't think I was the only one that had not heard very much about Abigail's story.  King David came to her husband for food for he and his men.  Her husband turn him away.  Then Abigail gathered together food and brought it to King David.  He was on his way to destroy her family and community.  She single handedly stop David with this move.  Her husband hearing this fell over dead.  She then marries King David.  She was his second wife.  We really had a lively discussion of this women's feats.  She is not mentioned again in the Bible.  I really enjoyed this small  glimpse of Abigail.
