It is a marvelous thing to be able to persuade an angry person from committing hurtful acts out of anger. It takes great tact and patience, but in so doing you both help the one who would be hurt and the angry person. Abigail could see the folly of David’s anger and she was able to persuade him of the harm that would come if he proceeded in carrying out his plan against Nabal.
