Ahinoam of Jezreel
Jan. 16th, 2013 07:46 pm(I swear one day I'll get my calendar alert to actually alert me, and post these on Sunday as planned.)
Ahinoam (1 Samuel 25:43 - 2 Samuel 3:2) is David's first wife apart from the absent Michal. Being married to someone on the run from the current king means a lot of travelling and danger: she and his second wife go with him into exile to Philistine territory where David fights local battles for a local king.
When he goes to join the Philistines in battle against Israel - in fact against her hometown - Ahinoam and the other wives and children left behind by David's troops are captured by a local raiding party. Luckily the Philistines don't trust David that much and they send him back. When he finds Ahinoam et al missing he catches up with them, kills their abductors, and liberates the women and children and a lot of loot (which he deploys politically to his allies back home).
Eventually the exile is over: Ahinoam can return with David to Hebron in Judah when he's to be annointed king. And there she gives birth to his first son Amnon.
