<p class="p1">SHOW NOTES:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">In Podcast Episode 146, “Getting More Than You Bargained For,” Kim discusses the buyer’s remorse we all experience at times when we walk into a situation much more challenging than anticipated. This is definitely the case for Abigail. She is asked to marry the king, only to find out she was not the only one given the honor.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">The primary scripture text for this episode is <a href='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+25%3A39-44&version=NLT;ESV'>1 Samuel 25:39-44 </a>with 39-42 as the focal verses.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the Lord, who has avenged the insult I received from Nabal and has kept me from doing it myself. Nabal has received the punishment for his sin.” Then David sent messengers to Abigail to ask her to become his wife. 40 When the messengers arrived at Carmel, they told Abigail, “David has sent us to take you back to marry him.”41 She bowed low to the ground and responded, “I, your servant, would be happy to marry David. I would even be willing to become a slave, washing the feet of his servants!” 42 Quickly getting ready, she took along five of her servant girls as attendants, mounted her donkey, and went with David’s messengers. And so she became his wife. </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">ADDITIONAL VERSES:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you.
