2 Samuel 3:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ Michal’s husband, Paltiel, followed them, crying all the way to Bahurim. Finally, Abner said to him, “Go back home.” So Paltiel went back home.

¹⁷ Abner sent this message to the leaders of Israel. He said, “For a long time you have wanted to make David your king. ¹⁸ Now do it! The Lord was talking about David when he said, ‘I will save my people the Israelites from the Philistines and all their other enemies. I will do this through my servant David.’”
