Abigail, David and Nabal for Kids: Bible Story & Printables
The story in a nutshell
Nabal was very great, with three thousand sheep, but he was churlish, and when David's young men asked him for food, Nabal answered, "Who is David?" David and his men girded on their swords to go against him. Abigail, "a woman of good understanding," made haste and laid loaves, raisins and cakes of figs on asses, met David, and fell at his feet, and David said, "blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood." About ten days after, Nabal died, and David sent and took Abigail to be his wife.
