2 Samuel 3:19-21

The Message

¹⁹ Abner took the Benjaminites aside and spoke to them. Then he went to Hebron for a private talk with David, telling him everything that Israel in general and Benjamin in particular were planning to do.

²⁰ When Abner and the twenty men who were with him met with David in Hebron, David laid out a feast for them.

²¹ Abner then said, “I’m ready. Let me go now to rally everyone in Israel for my master, the king. They’ll make a treaty with you, authorizing you to rule them however you see fit.” Abner was sent off with David’s blessing.
