She was "a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance." After Nabal's death she became the wife of David (1Samuel 25:14-42), and was his companion in all his future fortunes (1Samuel 27:3; 30:5; 2 Samuel 2:2 ). By her David had a son called Chileab (2Samuel 3:3), elsewhere called Daniel (1Chronicles 3:1).
