TSNTyndale Study Notes:

25:28 a lasting dynasty: See 2 Sam 7.
• fighting the Lord’s battles: David was known and loved for his victories over Israel’s enemies (1 Sam 18:7, 13, 16).
• have not done wrong: This comment does not indicate that David was sinless, but rather that he was innocent in his quest for the throne (as 25:29-31 makes clear).

Abigail continues to reason with David.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pronouns
