    Men do dumb things from time to time. Nabal was drunk and refused to help David out. Thanks to Abigail, Nabal’s life was spared. Abigail acted is a model that we all need to follow.

    I used to work as a tour guide in a Scottish castle, so I was used to telling this kind of anecdote. See if you can recognise this one. It is not about Scottish clans and lands. It comes from the Bible.

    A GOOD WIFE AND A MEAN-SPIRITED HUSBAND. This is a true story concerning a wise woman, a foolish chieftain, and a band of outlaws. The leader of the outlaws was an honourable man who, like Robin Hood in England, had unjustly fallen into disfavour with the ruler of the land. Whereas Robin Hood ...read more

    Arrogance kills. Should anyone question that statement, they need but study an incident when a king whom God anointed requested consideration from a wealthy farmer. What happened next is a warming against becoming arrogant.

    “Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk.
