Lexham English Bible
17 The word of Abner came to[a] the elders of Israel, saying, “For quite some time[b] you were seeking David as king over you. 18 So then, bring it about, because Yahweh had said to David, “Through the hand of David my servant I am about to save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.” 19 Abner also spoke privately to Benjamin.[c] Abner also went to speak to David[d] in Hebron, all that was good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.
