Strong's Lexicon Abigayil: Abigail Original Word: אֲבִיגַיִל Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine Transliteration: Abiygayil Pronunciation: ah-bee-gah-yeel Phonetic Spelling: (ab-ee-gah'-yil) Definition: Abigail Meaning: Abigail, Abigal Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root words אָב (av, meaning "father") and גִּיל (gil, meaning "joy" or "rejoicing"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Abigail in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as her account is primarily contained within the Old Testament. However, her character can be compared to New Testament figures known for wisdom and peacemaking, such as Priscilla (Πρίσκιλλα, Strong's Greek 4252). Usage: The name Abigail means "my father is joy" or "source of joy." In the Bible, Abigail is a significant female figure known for her wisdom, beauty, and peacemaking abilities. She is primarily recognized as the wife of Nabal and later, King David. Cultural and Historical Background: Abigail lived during the time of King David, around the 10th century BCE. She was married to Nabal, a wealthy but harsh man from the region of Carmel. Her account is set in the context of ancient Israel, where women often played crucial roles in family and community life, despite a predominantly patriarchal society. Abigail's actions reflect the values of hospitality, wisdom, and courage, which were highly esteemed in her culture.
