17 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying. You have sought for David in times past to be king over you; 18 Now then do so; for the LORD has spoken of David, saying. By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and out of the hand of all their enemies. 19 And Abner also spoke in the presence of the Benjamites; and Abner went also to speak in the presence of David in Hebron. And when it seemed good in the sight of all Israel and in the sight of the whole house of Benjamin, 20 Then Abner came to David at Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men who were with him a great feast. 21 And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you and that you may reign over all that your soul desires. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace. 2 Samuel 3:17-21, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
