"De ontmoeting van David en Abigaïl" is a large tapestry (211 cm x 627 cm) by the Flemish artist François Spiering (1551-1630), dated c. 1610-1620. The tapestry depicts a scene from the Old Testament, the meeting of David and Abigaïl, where David humbly asks Abigaïl for forgiveness after taking her husband's property.
