David with 400 swords ready for an overkill. Mighty men marched, hungry and angry. Their footsteps dust the night swooshed to Nabal's house. As the disaster knocks, opens its doors last night to see the moonrise and surely will not live to see the sunrise.
And here you are the Lady of the house barely gasping for air, not even a minute to look at herself in the mirror for dread or terror had come upon her to slaughter everything in her house. Both human and animal. Not even herself will be spared.
Some poor translations and other judgmental minds think Abigail is a flirt and an opportunist. But hey you are not them and I am not definitely gonna cast a stone as well. Not yet. Save those stones for later!!!
Let's test and float the idea of flirt. Did Abigail in the time of the night, a very furious and probably hungry king-to-be David have the time to entertain such a flirt woman approaching?
What did David ask Nabal again?
It wasn't just anything but any available provisions at hand. Probably something to eat. What makes Nabal become the worst husband to his vulnerable household?
He is tightfisted to the point of miserliness putting insults as cherries on top of its cup and those who ask it must drink and go away as if nothing happened?
David's men had to drink that cup of shame, save the cherries on top, and spit out the insult to their Master said: Nabal sent us empty handed my lord, then said: you are nothing but from a low unknown clan where nothing good comes out of it!
Now tell me, will flirting work in this scene? A hungry and angry David still has the time to welcome a flirting woman in front of 400 angry men? Come on!!! Think and know better before the subject of flirting bluffs your poor vibe. Can it work? Shame on you!
So that stone? Where is it again? Did u uncast it? Yeah, that's right for you! Save it for later.
