Abstract

This paper offers a new look at the design of Abigail’s character as a wise woman in 1 Sam 25, based on an analysis of the argumentative component of Abigail’s speech and the connections between her speech and the book of Proverbs. According to this analysis, Abigail is not only portrayed as a rescuer, but is also designed in the image of the wise educator in the book of Proverbs, who teaches David a fundamental theological principle about relying on God instead of on his own strength—despite the essential legitimacy to harm Nabal. This message is relevant to David’s status as an anointed king de jure, but as a refugee de facto. David’s adherence to Abigail’s message designs his character as a wise person who is willing to learn, indicating that the narrative justifies David’s monarchy through his encounter with Abigail.
《阿比盖尔的智慧
本文通过分析《撒母耳记上》第25章中阿比盖尔演讲中的辩论成分以及她的演讲与《箴言》之间的联系,对阿比盖尔作为一个聪明女人的角色设计进行了新的审视。根据这种分析,亚比该不仅被描绘成一个拯救者,而且还被设计成《箴言》中睿智的教育家的形象,他教导大卫一个基本的神学原则,即依靠上帝而不是依靠自己的力量——尽管伤害拿八是合法的。这个信息与大卫在法律上是受膏的王,但实际上是一个难民的身份有关。大卫对阿比盖尔信息的坚持,将他的角色塑造成了一个愿意学习的智者,这表明叙事通过大卫与阿比盖尔的相遇来证明大卫的君主制是正确的。
