2 Samuel 3:35-37
New American Standard Bible
35 Then all the people came (A)to provide [a]food for David in his distress while it was still day; but David vowed, saying, “(B)May God do so to me, and more so, if I taste bread or anything else (C)before the sun goes down.” 36 Now all the people took note of David’s vow, and it [b]pleased them, just as everything that the king did [c]pleased all the people. 37 So all the people and all Israel understood on that day that it had not been the desire of the king to put Abner the son of Ner to death.
