Abigail (Hebrew: אֲבִיגַיִל / אֲבִיגָיִל, Modern Avigáyil Tiberian ʾĂḇîḡáyil / ʾĂḇîḡāyil ; "my father's joy", spelled Abigal in 2 Samuel 17:25 in the American Standard Version but not in the King James Version) was the wife of Nabal; she became a wife of David after Nabal's death (1 Samuel 25). Abigail is David's second wife, after Saul's daughter, Michal, whom Saul later married to Palti, son of Laish when David went into hiding.
She became the mother of one of David's sons, who is listed in the Book of Chronicles under the name Daniel, in the Masoretic Text of the Books of Samuel as Chileab, and in the Septuagint text of 2 Samuel 3:3 as Δαλουια, Dalouia.
In the passage from 1 Samuel, Nabal demonstrates ingratitude towards David, and Abigail attempts to placate David in order to stop him taking revenge. She gives him food, and speaks to him, urging him not to "have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed" (verse 31, NIV) and reminding him that God will make him a "lasting dynasty" (verse 28). Jon Levenson calls this an "undeniable adumbration" of Nathan's prophecy in 2 Samuel 7.Alice Bach notes that Abigail pronounces a "crucial prophecy," and the Talmud regards her as one of the Tanakh's seven female prophets. Levenson, however, suggests that she "senses the drift of history" from intelligence rather than from special revelation.

Already Gone Boy I like the drama, I like you begging like a dog, You know I’ve been through so much Won’t be a martyr, I’ll be strong, yeah right.... Go ahead and think of all the things I should’ve been, Your time is off my limits, your time is off my limits, now leave, But, where I’ve been? Listen… I’m already gone, I’m already gone, You took your time but am done now I’m already gone….
He said, Sorry sweetheart, before he shut the door, got tired and bored of this silly game, am not gonna play no more, see I saw myself, again, giving it all for somebody else... But what is next in this city? Am I pretty, enough to buy some dignity? well stay put, and play it cool, cause everybody loves you when you're blue.... Baby boy got scared, run away, go to momma bear, (my little mermaid you couldn't sing your way through this...) Is it too bad that I want him dead? Cause in my head, nothing ever makes sense...? (well, calm your words, if he couldn't hold your hand, he ain't your man....) Some things might be changing, I'm crying cause you are trying, though our cores are hardly moved I'll always remain blue, and you will keep on lying... I try to behave, but some minds can't...
