Did king david get married to bathsheba?
David's third wife was Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal (1 Samuel 25:39). His first was Michal, Saul's daughter (1 Samuel 18:27) and his second was Ahinoam of Jezreel (1 Samuel 25:43). We don't know very much about Ahinoam before David married her so people often forget her. She is important later though, because she is the mother of Amnon, David's oldest son. (Name spellings are taken from the NIV and will vary with different translations)
Who kept david from taking vengeance on nabal for refusing to pay David's men?
Nabal's abusive words came to the attention of his wife, Abigail. Perhaps this was not the first time she had had to intercede and act as peacemaker for Nabal. In any case, Abigail acted immediately. Without telling Nabal, she gathered provisions-including five sheep and an abundance of food, and went out to meet David in the wilderness. (1 Samuel 25:18-20) When Abigail caught sight of David, she at once prostrated herself before him and warned David against taking hasty action that he would later regret. (1 Samuel 25:23-31)

What sister of David has the same name as one of David's wives?
In the book of Samuel, Abigail was the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. The book says that David married her after Nabal's death. The Book of Chronicles, which is known to have been a modified, later rewrite of the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings) agrees with Samuel, but also makes it seem that David was married to his full sister.1 Chronicles 2:13-16 says that David's sister was Abigail, then Chronicles 3:1 commences a genealogy, with Abigail his second wife. These are the only two Abigails in the entire Bible, so it is implausible that David simply married the only known woman in all Hebrew history to have the same name as his own sister. It is surely more likely that the Chronicler used a convenient name as that of the sister, but overlooked the consequences that would become apparent when a more systematic analysis of the Bible became possible. No one called Abigail was really a sister of David.
