Who kept david from taking vengeance on nabal for refusing to pay David's men?
Nabal's abusive words came to the attention of his wife, Abigail. Perhaps this was not the first time she had had to intercede and act as peacemaker for Nabal. In any case, Abigail acted immediately. Without telling Nabal, she gathered provisions-including five sheep and an abundance of food, and went out to meet David in the wilderness. (1 Samuel 25:18-20) When Abigail caught sight of David, she at once prostrated herself before him and warned David against taking hasty action that he would later regret. (1 Samuel 25:23-31)

Who is Abigail in The Bible?
I'm pretty sure there is only one Abigail in the Bible, and that is Nabal's wife. When David, the future king, went to ask Nabal for some food, because David had watched Nabal's servants in the wilderness, but Nabal blew them off (pardon the phrase; it's not literal). David was furious and swore to kill Nabal and everyone in his household. Abigail heard how cruel her husband had been, so she gathered food to take to David and his 600 men. David forgave Nabal and accepted Abigail's offering. Then, when ten days later God struck Nabal down, David took Abigail as his wife. (David had other wive, including Michael, Saul's daughter) Hope it helped! God bless you.
