Luke 22:28‑29• ²⁸Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
²⁹And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; (Luke 22:28‑29)

• The man of sorrows, the rejected king, not only has companions and a people at Hebron, but also his wife and bride. Abigail, like Rebecca, is one of the rare types in the Old Testament who prefigures the Church; she is the Bride, David's voluntary, humble, joyful associate during the days of his rejection. Ahinoam, who is more in the background, represents rather, as I see it, the remnant of Israel who have entered into relationship with the Messiah before the establishment of His reign.* (* Abigail signifies "the father's joy"; Ahinoam, "the son's grace.") (“Hebron: 2 Samuel 2” by H.L. Rossier)
