And then there’s that man that Heber C. Kimball was named for ...

yeah Heber is in the Bible....

Heber C. Kimball had lots of “wives” and he treated them like cows and kept them corralled and in line...

He was a good mormon guy..

Now let’s look at that “out-of-control” wife of the Biblical Heber...

Her name was Jael...and she was no book of mormon wife..

No sirree not her...

She tricked Sisera into coming into her husband’s tent...

and gave him food, water, a bed to sleep in...

and a nail in his head with her little hammer...

Oh noes...

And God had planned it that way...

Oh noes...

And God told Deborah that Sisera was gonna get his...

And Deborah PROPHECISED to the Hebrews that God was going to do it ...

Oh, noes..

My favorite woman in the bible is Abigail. Her story is told in 1 Samuel 25. She was married to a rich man, Nabal, who was a flaming jerk and almost got his whole household wiped out by insulting David. David led 400 men to kill Nabal and his whole houehold, but Abigail raced to meet them with gifts. She apologized for her pathetic husband and appeased David's anger. She knew he was of the Lord. Here's what David told her:

"32 And David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! 33 Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from avenging myself with my own hand! 34 For as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male.” 35 Then David received from her hand what she had brought him. And he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. See, I have obeyed your voice, and I have granted your petition.”

Abigail went home and found her husband drunk. He died ten days later and David took her as his wife.

She rocked.
