Most everyone knows about David's six (or 7) brothers, but his two sisters, Abigail and Zeruiah, are mentioned only briefly in 1Chronicles 2:16. We read about his marriage to Abigail w/o realizing how he already had a sister named Abigail, and how that may be a type or prelude of how the virgin Mary has both a husband and a father both named Joseph.
1Sam16:10 "Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel.
And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these".
1Chr2:12 "And Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse, 2:13 And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and Shimma the third, 2:14 Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, 2:15 Ozem the sixth, David the seventh:
2:16 Whose sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. http://cswnet.com/~duxrow/sisters.htm
Abigail and Zeruiah (A-Z) reminds me of the wives of Lamech: Adah & Zillah (A-Z), Gen4:19, and arouses my suspicion of how English might figure here. You think?
