AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Samuel 25:3 (now the man's name was Nabal and his wife's name was Abigail. She was intelligent and beautiful in appearance, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings; he was a Calebite). |
Bible Question: Hmmm, an arranged marriage for Abigal and Nabal, any other thoughts on how they could have joined in marraige? |
Bible Answer: 1 Chr 3:1 Now these were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: the firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second was Daniel, by Abigail the Carmelitess; After reading up on this, I discovered that Nabal, a descendent of Caleb was a member of the tribe of Judah. The land given this tribe included Carmel. So, it appears that Abigail, a "Carmelitess" was most likely also a member of the tribe of Judah. Marriage within the same tribe was preferred so not to lose land, therefore it is not inconceivable that these two very different people would have had a marriage arranged for them. I guess the ends justified the means back then too! Just some thoughts! mommapbs |
