Both women were married to David

Abigail

Abigail was a peacemaker, she was wise and kind, and she knew that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. She believed that one good turn deserves another. A woman after my own heart Abigail was mild mannered and even tempered, but her husband Nabal as his name interprets was a fool, he was foolish. Now I can compare this with the relationships I've been involved in, too many I don't care to remember, I'm so happy I serve a forgiving God. When God forgave me I forgot, he has thrown those iniquities in the sea of forgetfulness. I have never waited on the Lord to send my spouse, if I though I loved him, and he said he loved me it was a relationship, never a short one but years of verbally and emotionally abusive men. Ones that wavered, had no morals, and didn't know God. Even the ones that claimed to love God and had a relationship with God and fellowshipped had some type of device.  They lied, cheated, manipulated and conned their ways into my life and squatted. It is not written but I'm sure Nabal took Abigail as a wife and not she him because they were too different, they say opposites attract. But the man in my life has to know God and love God and must have a personal relationship with God. He can not be a drunkard, a liar, a cheat or an abuser of substance, or an abuser of himself or me. Nabal was a drunkard and a fool. I am a devout believer that you must fast and pray to God that the man you are marrying is not a fake. Nabal was so evil that he died from his own wickedness and hatred. He was so stubborn and so amplified with self knowing that his wife would try to make peace with David to save his life was so repelling he went into shock and died.  David saw the goodness in Abigail and took her as his wife.   

Bathsheba

Bathsheba had a an adulterous affair with King David, which resulted in the murder of her husband Uriah.  David had Uriah killed and married Bathsheba.  Even though Bathsheba ignored this principle of being married.  The one thing I like about Bathsheba is though she fell short of the glory of God she confess her sins and repented.  God blessed her.   The fact that I have sinned and God has forgiven me allows me to relate to Bathsheba.
