Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
For the Lord will make ... a sure house - Compare Sa1 2:35, and Sa2 7:16; Kg1 11:38. Abigail's firm persuasion of David's kingdom stands upon the same footing as Rahab's conviction of God's gift of Canaan to the Israelites Jos 2:9-13. Both testified to God's revelation and their own faith. This is doubtless the reason why Abigail's speech is recorded.

9 And she said [0559] unto the men [0582], I know [03045] that the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] you the land [0776], and that your terror [0367] is fallen [05307] upon us, and that all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] faint [04127] because [06440] of you.
10 For we have heard [08085] how the LORD [03068] dried up [03001] the water [04325] of the Red [05488] sea [03220] for you [06440], when ye came out [03318] of Egypt [04714]; and what ye did [06213] unto the two [08147] kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567], that were on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383], Sihon [05511] and Og [05747], whom ye utterly destroyed [02763].
11 And as soon as we had heard [08085] these things, our hearts [03824] did melt [04549], neither did there remain [06965] any more courage [07307] in any man [0376], because [06440] of you: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430], he is God [0430] in heaven [08064] above [04605], and in earth [0776] beneath.
12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear [07650] unto me by the LORD [03068], since [03588] I have shewed [06213] you kindness [02617], that ye will also shew [06213] kindness [02617] unto my father's [01] house [01004], and give [05414] me a true [0571] token [0226]:
13 And that ye will save alive [02421] my father [01], and my mother [0517], and my brethren [0251], and my sisters [0269], and all that they have, and deliver [05337] our lives [05315] from death [04194].
38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken [08085] unto all that I command [06680] thee, and wilt walk [01980] in my ways [01870], and do [06213] that is right [03477] in my sight [05869], to keep [08104] my statutes [02708] and my commandments [04687], as David [01732] my servant [05650] did [06213]; that I will be with thee, and build [01129] thee a sure [0539] house [01004], as I built [01129] for David [01732], and will give [05414] Israel [03478] unto thee.
16 And thine house [01004] and thy kingdom [04467] shall be established [0539] for [05704] ever [05769] before [06440] thee: thy throne [03678] shall be established [03559] for [05704] ever [05769].
35 And I will raise me up [06965] a faithful [0539] priest [03548], that shall do [06213] according to that which is in mine heart [03824] and in my mind [05315]: and I will build [01129] him a sure [0539] house [01004]; and he shall walk [01980] before [06440] mine anointed [04899] for ever [03117].
