And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

40And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

Biblical Context

David learns of Nabal's death, thanks the LORD for delivering him from reproach, and moves to take Abigail as his wife; Abigail humbly accepts, symbolizing the inner union of courage with wisdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard mode, the scene is not about external history but the drama of your inner life. David represents the sovereign I AM—the rightful king within your consciousness that discerns truth and delivers justice. Nabal embodies a belief in lack or false accusation that would derail inner peace; his death signals the clearing of that image by Providence. When you read that Nabal is dead, hear it as your inner awareness that reproach has fallen away and divine justice has returned the energy to its source. Abigail personifies the intelligent mercy of inner wisdom, the discerning feminine principle that bows to truth and offers service to the movement of your life. The union of David and Abigail signifies the integration of righteous action with compassionate discernment. Providence then guides this inner alliance, aligning choices with the highest good. The overall drama proclaims that your vindication is already wrought in the I AM, awaiting your conscious realization.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner David—your sovereign, just self—has already vindicated you; revise any memory of reproach as misdirected energy returning to its source. Then dwell in Abigail’s humility as your inner wisdom serving the right move, and feel that harmony guiding your next step.
