David and Abigail > David was getting ready to make a major error, by killing off all the men of Nabal the husband of Abigail. But she got wind of how Nabal had dissed David and his men so that then David was going to get revenge. And she came and stood up to David and straightened him out!

It seems she was gorgeous. But after David got a sample of her wisdom, I think he was stunned at how a woman could be a lot more than attractive. And he thanked the LORD for arranging for her to come and help him so he would not ruin how he would want to be known as ruler of Israel.
I don't think we need to suggest David was sexist in his view of Abigail since Scripture doesn't seem to do so.
