1 Sam. 25:42‑43• 42And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
 43David had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives. (1 Sam. 25:42‑43)
;
1 Sam. 30:5• 5And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. (1 Sam. 30:5)

Luke 22:28‑29• 28But *ye* are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.
 29And *I* appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom, (Luke 22:28‑29)
• The man of sorrows, the rejected king, not only has companions and a people at Hebron, but also his wife and bride. Abigail, like Rebecca, is one of the rare types in the Old Testament who prefigures the Church; she is the Bride, David's voluntary, humble, joyful associate during the days of his rejection. Ahinoam, who is more in the background, represents rather, as I see it, the remnant of Israel who have entered into relationship with the Messiah before the establishment of His reign.* (* Abigail signifies "the father's joy"; Ahinoam, "the son's grace.") (“Hebron: 2 Samuel 2” by H.L. Rossier)
