Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Samuel 25:30
And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
30. appointed thee ruler ] The same Heb. words are used in 1Sa 13:14, where the E. V. has “commanded him to he captain.” Cp. also 1Sa 9:16, 1Sa 10:1.
Abigail’s prudence, and her familiarity with the true idea of the theocratic king which was to be realised in David, suggest that she may have received instruction from Samuel, or some other prophet. Cp. 2Ki 4:8 ff.

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee,…. Performed his promise, especially with respect to his kingdom, as follows:
and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel; that is, actually raised him to be, and settled him as king upon the throne of Israel; for he was both appointed and anointed already; and this Abigail knew, and was now well known in Israel, and the common talk of the people.

(30) And shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel.The wife of Nabal here speaks of the outlaw captains future rule over Israel as king as a matter of absolute certainty. This she, in common with other religious persons of the people, had doubtless heard through the Prophetic Schools. We may fairly suppose that not a few of the pupils of Samuel and his associates had been, when the first meeting of David with Abigail took place, for a considerable time working as teachers and preachers throughout the land. It is most likely that the synagogue, or something out of which the synagogue sprangsome kind of assembly for prayer to the God of Israel for instruction and exhortationhad already taken root among the people. The sons of the prophets, we may still with fair probability assume, were the first Teachersthe first rabbis in Israel. It must be remembered that at this time, and even before the murder of the priests at Nob, the central Sanctuary exercised comparatively small influence over the religious life of the people; even the Ark of the Covenant never seems to nave been kept there. The religious life, when Samuel had grown up to manhood, had well-nigh died out of the people.
