Abigail
Abigail (Hebrew: אֲבִיגַיִל / אֲבִיגָיִל, Modern Avigáyil Tiberian ʾĂḇîḡáyil / ʾĂḇîḡāyil ; "my father's joy", spelled Abigal in 2 Samuel 17:25 in the American Standard Version but not in the King James Version) was the wife of Nabal; she became a wife of David after Nabal's death (1 Samuel 25). Abigail is David's second wife, after Saul's daughter, Michal, whom Saul later married to Palti, son of Laish when David went into hiding.
She became the mother of one of David's sons, who is listed in the Book of Chronicles under the name Daniel, in the Masoretic Text of the Books of Samuel as Chileab, and in the Septuagint text of 2 Samuel 3:3 as Δαλουια, Dalouia.
Biblical history
In the passage from 1 Samuel, Nabal demonstrates ingratitude towards David, and Abigail attempts to placate David in order to stop him taking revenge. She gives him food, and speaks to him, urging him not to "have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed" (verse 31, NIV) and reminding him that God will make him a "lasting dynasty" (verse 28). Jon Levenson calls this an "undeniable adumbration" of Nathan's prophecy in 2 Samuel 7.Alice Bach notes that Abigail pronounces a "crucial prophecy," and the Talmud regards her as one of the Tanakh's seven female prophets. Levenson, however, suggests that she "senses the drift of history" from intelligence rather than from special revelation.
Abigail (name)
Abigail is a female given name. The name comes from the Hebrew name אֲבִיגַיִל / אֲבִיגָיִל Avigail, meaning "my father's joy" (alternatively "my father rejoices", or "my father is joy"). This name is becoming increasingly more popular in the U.S. in 2015.
Abigail was the wife of King David in the Hebrew Bible (Book of Samuel), and is described as an intelligent and beautiful woman.
The name Abigail can be shortened to "Abby", "Abbey", "Abbi", "Abbie", "Abbe", "Abi", "Abbye", "Abs", or "Aby", as well as "Gail" or "Gayle."

Abigail (album)
Abigail is the second King Diamond album and their first concept album. It was released in 1987 on Roadrunner Records. There were several re-releases, first in 1997 with 4 bonus tracks, and then a 25th Anniversary edition in 2005 with a bonus DVD. This album has sold over 175,000 copies in North America alone.
Plot
Abigail tells the story about a young couple, Miriam Natias and Jonathan La'Fey, who move into an old mansion that La'Fey inherited. It takes place in the summer of 1845. At their arrival they are warned by seven horsemen not to move into the house because if they do "18 will become 9." They do not heed the warning and proceed to move into the mansion. During their first night, Jonathan meets with Count La'Fey, the Family Ghost, who is a deceased relative. The ghost shows him a casket in which a corpse of a stillborn child, Abigail, rests. The ghost informs him that Miriam is carrying the spirit of Abigail and that the child will soon be reborn. He insists that Jonathan must kill Miriam at once to prevent the rebirth.

Abigail
by: WelbiltAbigail don't get me down
Keep my feet upon the ground
Keep my head out of the clouds tonight
Let the room go spinning round
Another shot that's 15 down
Keep me drunk until this wrong seems right
Don't let me drive too fast
Cause I can't see clear
But it always seems like the objects are getting
smaller
In my rear view mirror
I passed the road 3 miles ago
Where I needed to make a right
Shooting stars over the motel bars
With blinking neon lights.
Abigail don't get me down
Keep my feet upon the ground
Keep my head out of the clouds tonight
Let the room go spinning round
Another shot that's 15 down
Keep me drunk until this wrong seems right
Glass menageries on boats made out of stone
Conversations and coffee spoken on a broken telephone
A thousand forks in the road
When I just need a spoon
Complications on weeks vacations
Eating up the afternoon
Bookstores selling VCR's and Spanish inquisitions
Cigarettes in the trenches while bombshells target
their position
Got no way out of no man's land
Before the light of day
Purgatory and bedtime stories
Always seem to keep me awake
Abigail don't get me down
Keep my feet upon the ground
Keep my head out of the clouds tonight
Let the room go spinning round
Another shot that's 15 down
Keep me drunk until this wrong seems right
Abigail don't get me high
I need to wake up feeling right
Pay the rent and get to work on time
Yes I need to spend the night
Take my keys without a fight
