2 Samuel 3:20-22

Tree of Life Version

²⁰ When Abner came to David in Hebron along with 20 other men, David held a banquet for Abner and the men with him. ²¹ Abner said to David, “Let me get up and go rally all Israel to my lord the king, so that they may cut a covenant with you, and you may reign over all that your soul desires.” So David sent Abner away, and he departed in shalom.

²² Just then, David’s soldiers and Joab came from a raid, bringing with them much spoil. By then Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he departed in shalom.
