Contradiction with Proverbs 15:1
This verse emphasizes a gentle answer turning away wrath, which contrasts with Abigail's decision to act in 1 Samuel 25:19 without speaking to her husband Nabal, potentially escalating conflict.
Proverbs 15:1: A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Contradiction with Ephesians 5:22
Advises wives to submit to their own husbands, contradicting Abigail’s independent action without Nabal’s knowledge in 1 Samuel 25:19.
Ephesians 5:22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:34
This verse suggests women should be silent and submissive, which contradicts Abigail’s proactive approach in 1 Samuel 25:19.
1 Corinthians 14:34: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:12
It prohibits a woman from exercising authority over a man, in contrast to how Abigail took action and made decisions on behalf of her household in 1 Samuel 25:19.
1 Timothy 2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
