'And when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel' — Abigail declares what God has already decreed in His heart: David's future kingship ('nāgîd ʿal-yiśrāʾēl'). She speaks not as a subject flattering a patron, but as one who perceives God's hidden purpose.
