2 Samuel 3:17-19

Darby Translation

¹⁷ Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David aforetime to be king over you;

¹⁸ and now do [it], for Jehovah has spoken of David, saying, By my servant David will I 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 in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
