But what happens, Nabal instead of giving foods as requested by the followers David, on the contrary Nabal as if ignoring David, even Nabal threat David as meaningless, like a rebel whose demand does not need to be ignored. When all this David already do good to Nabal, do not disturb or take the sheep. This Nabal act, eventually angering David, so he wanted to destroy Nabal. David mobilizes his followers 400 people to face Nabal. In this situation the Abigail acts wisely and impressively.
