Hi, I'm Dr. Tony Evans, your host for Heroes in the Bible. And if you've been enjoying this series,

please write a review and let me know how this podcast has impacted your life. Welcome to the

epic adventure of David, a story of honor, battle, jealousy, darkness, friendship, love, scandal,

and murder. While most people know of David the myth, few know about

David the man. In this episode, David is the one who needs saving. Yes, our valiant hero is going

to need rescuing, but not from Philistines or King Saul. David needs somebody to save him from

his own poor decision-making. This episode introduces a new character, Abigail.

She's not a warrior, scholar, or princess, but she is the exact person David needs right now.

This is a short episode about three things.

The emotional toll, exile is taken on David and his men, the wisdom of a wife making up for the folly of a husband,

and a new budding romance that comes at the perfect time.

David has been in the wilderness for a while.

His men are skilled, but are weary.

The fatigue of battle and lethargy of months on the run without the comforts of a home

have put them in a perfect position to make a bad decision.

God sends someone to save them just in time. We can't expect David to make the right decision

every time without guidance and providence. Before we meet Abigail, we go to a funeral. The prelude

features a very recent event for David, where he mourns the death of a beloved friend and grieves the betrayal of his first love.

Without further ado, here is episode 13, Abigail.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

I wanted to talk about traditional health insurance, but I was taught, if you can't say something nice, say nothing.

So instead, let me tell you about a better alternative, Christian healthcare ministries.
