'''Abigail''' ({{Hebrew Name 2|אֲבִיגַיִל|אֲבִיגָיִל|Avigáyil||ʾĂḇîḡáyil|ʾĂḇîḡāyil|"her Father's joy" or "fountain of joy"}} is a female name occurring in [[Bible|Biblical narratives]] from the [[Books of Samuel]], and reflected in the [[Books of Chronicles]]. The name ''Abigal'' occurs on one occasion<ref>{{bibleverse|2|Samuel|3:3|}}</ref>, and is thought by the vast majority of scholars to be an alternate spelling of ''Abigail''. There appear to be two individuals named ''Abigail'':
*The wife of [[Nabal]], who became a wife of [[David]] after Nabal's sudden death (see [[Nabal]]).<ref>{{bibleverse|1|Samuel|25|}}</ref> She became the mother of [[Daniel (son of David)|one of David's sons]], who is named in the [[Book of Chronicles]] as ''Daniel,''<ref>{{bibleverse|1|Chronicles|3:1|}}</ref> in the [[masoretic text]] of the Books of Samuel as ''Chileab,''<ref>{{bibleverse|2|Samuel|3:3|}}</ref> and in the [[Septuagint]] text of the Books of Samuel as ''Daluyah.''<ref>2 Samuel 3:3, LXX</ref>
*The mother of [[Amasa]]. In the Book of Chronicles, and Septuagint version of the Books of Samuel, Abigail's father is identified as being [[Jesse]],<ref>{{bibleverse|1|Chronicles|2:13-16|}}</ref><ref>2 Samuel 17:25, LXX</ref> and she therefore would be a sister of David, but in the masoretic text of the Books of Samuel her father is named ''Nahash;''<ref>{{bibleverse|2|Samuel|17:25|}}</ref> scholars think that ''Nahash'' is a [[typographic error]] here,<ref>''Peake's commentary on the Bible''</ref><ref>''Jewish Encyclopedia''</ref> based on the appearance of the name two verses later.<ref>{{bibleverse|2|Samuel|17:27|}}</ref><ref>''Peake's commentary on the Bible''</ref> In the Book of Chronicles, Amasa's father is identified as ''Jether the [[Ishmaelite]],''<ref>{{bibleverse|1|Chronicles|2:17|}}</ref> but in the Books of Samuel, Amasa's father is identified as ''Ithra the [[Israelite]];''<ref>{{bibleverse|2|Samuel|17:25|}}</ref> scholars think that the latter case is more likely.<ref>''Jewish Encyclopedia''</ref>

It is possible for both these women named ''Abigail'' to be different accounts of the same woman, as textual scholars regard the account in the Books of Chronicles as ultimately deriving from the Books of Samuel, and the references there to ''Abigail'' as a sister of David occur only in the passages which textual scholars attribute to the ''[[court history of David]],''<ref>''Jewish Encyclopedia'', ''Books of Samuel''</ref> a document which doesn't mention an ''Abigail'' as one of David's wives.

The first Abigail's self-styling as a ''handmaid''<ref>{{bibleverse|1|Samuel|25:25|}} and following</ref> lead to ''Abigail'' being the traditional term for a waiting-woman (for example, Abigail, the ''waiting gentlewoman'', in [[Beaumont and Fletcher]]'s ''[[The Scornful Lady]]'', published in 1616).

Java7837: removing bias and putting it under a subcategory

:''For the al-Qaeda publication, see [[Al-Khansaa (magazine)]]''

'''Tumadir bint Amru al-Harith bint al-Sharid''', usually simply referred to as '''Al-Khansa''' ([[Arabic language|Arabic]] translated as either "[[gazelle]]" or "short-nosed") was a [[7th century in poetry|7th century]] female [[poet]]. She was a contemporary of [[Muhammed]], and eventually converted to [[Islam]].

In her time, the role of a female poet was to write [[elegy|elegies]] for the dead and perform them for the tribe in public oral competitions. Al-Khansa won respect and fame in these competitions with her elegies for her brothers, Sakhr and Muawiya, who had died in battle.

==Life==
Al-Khansa was born to rich family.

In 612 AD, her brother Mo'awiya was killed by members of another tribe. Al-Khansa insisted that her brother Sakhr avenge Mo'awiya's death, which he did. Sakhr was wounded in the process and died of his wounds a year later. Al-Khansa mourned his death in poetry and gained fame for her elegiac compositions.

She met [[Muhammad]] in [[629]] and converted to [[Islam]]. Muhammad is said to have been very impressed by her poetry.

She had four sons: Yazeed, Mo'awiya, Amro, and Amrh, all of whom converted to Islam. She urged her sons to fight [[jihad]], which they did. All four were killed in the [[Battle of Qadisiyah]].

When she received the news, she allegedly did not grieve, but said, "Praise be to Allah who honored me with their martyrdom. I pray for Allah to let me join them in heaven."
