And 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.

appointed thee ruler over Israel

on 1 Samuel 25:30-31

Abigail speaks of David's kingdom as already settled fact, when the Lord shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel, though he was anointed at 16:13 and enthroned nowhere yet. John Gill reads her confidence as common knowledge in Israel by this point, Samuel's anointing and the Lord's favor toward David already the talk of the people even while Saul still holds the throne. Her closing plea looks past the crisis of the day to the memory a king will carry, no needless bloodshed to grieve over, and a request simply to be remembered once the Lord has dealt well with her lord.
