For the person who was looking for the answer to Abigail being called Nabal's wife, Chapter 25 explains that she was widowed because the Most High smote Nabal for not showing David hospitality and helping him.
Because she was not a virgin bride and the genealogy would be confused by using a different title, she is called Nabal's widow, who later married David. Does that make sense?
David's wives so far:
Michal, Saul's daughter and first wife of David
Abigail, Nabal's widow, and the second wife of David
Ahinoam the Jezreelites, and the third wife of David
One can assume the other two brides were virgins at the time of marriage.
