Read this first: 1 Samuel 25:32-33
To bless a person is to speak of a good future for them. The source of all blessing is God Himself, who is forever blessed. Here, David is blessed with a secure kingship thanks to being kept from murder. In gratitude, he speaks blessing over Abigail whose wise actions saved him. All of which shows the lovely truth of Jesus' words: "blessed are the peacemakers" (Mat 5:9).
Based on the sermon “Help from the Lord”
