2 Samuel 3:34-36

Living Bible

^33-34 “Should Abner have died like a fool?” the king lamented.

And all the people wept again for him. ^35-36 David had refused to eat anything the day of the funeral, and now everyone begged him to take a bite of supper. But David vowed that he would eat nothing until sundown. This pleased his people, just as everything else he did pleased them!
