3 notes on this verseAnd it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee,.... Performed his promise, especially with respect to his kingdom, as follows: and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel; that is, actually raised him to be, and settled him as king upon the throne of Israel; for he was both appointed and anointed already; and this Abigail knew, and was now well known in Israel, and the common talk of the people.

When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised
on 1 Samuel 25:30-31
Abigail speaks of David's kingdom as settled. Gill reads her confidence as common knowledge by this time, Samuel's anointing and the LORD's favour toward David already the talk of the people. Her plea looks past the crisis to a king with no needless bloodshed on his conscience.
