Barnes' Notes
There is no note of the exact interval that elapsed between Nabal' s death and David' s hearing of it, or, again, between David' s hearing of it and his message to Abigail; nor is there any reason to suppose that the marriage took place with unbecoming haste. The widow of such a husband as Nabal had been could not, however, be expected to revere his memory. After the usual mourning of seven days, she would probably feel herself free to act as custom allowed. (See II Samuel 11:26.)
