"And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife."
I simply mention this little romance to prove that there was no evidence of obedience in Abigail's conjugal relations.
THE FAMOUS WIDOW OF MOAB.
THE FAMOUS WIDOW OF MOAB.
And Naomi, weary of the land of Moab, in the shadows of whose mountains, guarded by the angel of eternal sleep, lay the graves of her husband and sons, longed in her loneliness for the friends and associations of her youth. Her heart turned back to the old house at home, where there is always more sunshine and starshine, softer breezes and sweeter bird-songs, more silvery streams and fragrant flowers, than in any other clime, and she was about to take her departure for the "land of Judah."
Now it seems that Naomi was a very loveable elderly lady, since her daughter-in-law seemed to like her very much, though I haven't the slightest idea that Ruth was really so madly in love with her as we have been taught to believe.
