Abigail means father of joy. She was married to a man named Nabal, a mean-spirited drunk. While David was fleeing from King Saul, he helped protect Nabal's field hands. David sent his men to request Nabal to give them some food, and Nabal outright refused to provide them with anything. Abigail, Nabal's wife, secretly gathered some food and sent it to David. She followed behind the men to David's camp. Once she reached their base, she requested David not harm her husband. Soon after, Nabal died, and David took Abigail as his wife. Abigail is the mother of Chileab.
