Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

David overlooks the rich and seasonable present of Abigail, though pressed with hunger and wearied with travel; but her advice, which disarmed his rage, and calmed his revenge, draws forth these high and affectionate gratulations. These were his joyful and glorious trophies; not over his enemies, but over himself. Genesis 24:27, Exodus 18:10, Ezra 7:27, Psalms 41:12, Psalms 41:13, Psalms 72:18, Luke 1:68, 2 Corinthians 8:16

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And David said to Abigail,.... Having heard her out, and being overcome with her rhetoric and powerful arguments:

blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me; who put it into her heart to come out and meet him, and endeavour to avert him from his bad design, which his heart was set upon; he saw plainly the hand of God in it, and in the first place acknowledges the goodness of divine Providence, in directing her to take the step she did.
