‘Through my servant David I will save my people Israel
from the control of the Philistines
and from all of their enemies.’”
19 Abner also addressed the tribe of Benjamin. Furthermore, with David’s permission,[a] Abner said anything that seemed like it would be good for Israel and for the entire tribe of Benjamin.
