Big contrast between Nabal and Abigail. Mean, stupid, arrogant and rude versus generous, wise, humble and respectful. I am particularly impressed by how quickly Abigail acted.
In a sense Nabal was legally correct to reject David: he was a criminal, an enemy of the state. It is so important to seek and obey God's voice, and not make easy assumptions. Nabal dies because he fails to show grace; Saul dies because he fails to execute God's wrath. (1 Sam 28.18)
