Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ And her husband went with her and came, weeping, behind her, to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go. Return.” So, he returned.

¹⁸ “Then, do it now! For the LORD has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of my servant, David, I will save My people, Israel, out of the hands of the Philistines and out of the hands of all their enemies.’”
