2 Samuel 3:17-19

Tree of Life Version

¹⁷ Now Abner had a word with the elders of Israel saying, “In times past you wanted David to be king over you. ¹⁸ So now do it! For Adonai has spoken of David saying, ‘By the hand of My servant David I will deliver My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.’” ¹⁹ Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin. Then Abner went to Hebron to speak in the hearing of David about all that was agreeable to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.
