And Abigail hastened and rose and mounted a donkey, and her five maidens attended her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife — Abigail's swift response ('vattimaher'), paired with her maidens (the number five suggests completeness), shows her readiness to embrace her new life. The journey after David's messengers represents her movement from the house of the fool into alignment with God's purpose.
