Pursued by a King: Abigail's Story

Pursued by a King: Abigail's Story is the seventh book in the Ordinary Women of the Bible fiction series.

A sense of unease settles over Abigail as she learns of her father's choice for her husband. Something about the way Nabal of Maon looks at her makes her uncomfortable, but no amount of pleading can convince her father that there is more to Nabal than what they see. Abigail is sentenced to a life with a volatile, unpredictable man.

When David, the rumored next king of Israel, approaches Nabal seeking the customary kindness of strangers, Nabal turns him away, incurring the future king's wrath. Abigail must be swift to act in order to save her household. Nabal collapses, never to rise again, upon hearing the news of David's wrath and Abigail's actions to appease the future king.

And when David's men appear at her doorstep with an offer of a new life, Abigail must choose between returning to her father's home, or embarking on the adventure of a lifetime.
