The Counsel of a Wise Woman

Many women are given to long speeches. Some are valid, worth listening to and possibly recorded for posterity sake. Many women in biblical times were given only one sentence, a sentence or two that in reflection causes us to pause, think and act upon the woman’s statement or the dedication of purpose. 

 Abigail’s speech to David in I Sam 25 is the longest speech by a woman in The Bible, quite possibly one of the wisest counsels recorded.

    Kat A group of women at church are reading an anthology of five women in the Bible who are in the lineage of Jesus. Last month we had read and talked about Bathsheba. Abigail was portrayed as the only one of David's wives who seemed protective and friendly toward Bathsheba. I will read this Biblical account of Abigail. Thanks for the information.
