17 Abner advised the elders of Israel, saying, |For some time you have wanted David to be king over you. 18 Now then do it, for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, 'By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'| 19 And Abner also spoke privately to the sons of Benjamin. And Abner also spoke privately to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin. 2 Samuel 3:17-19, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
