EasyEnglish Bible
10 The Lord promised that David's family would rule as kings instead of Saul's family. He promised that David would be king over all the people of Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.’[a]
11 Ish-Bosheth was so afraid of Abner that he could not say anything.
12 Then Abner sent men to David with this message: ‘Who should rule this country? If you make an agreement with me, I will help you. I will cause all Israel's people to be faithful to you.’

- 3:10 Dan was at the north border of Israel. Beersheba was in the south, in Judah. So ‘from Dan to Beersheba’ means ‘everywhere’.
2 Samuel 3:10-12
New International Version
10 and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba.”(A) 11 Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him.
12 Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, “Whose land is it? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.”
