Abner Negotiates Peace with David

2 Samuel 3:12-16
12
Avner immediately sent envoys to David with this message: "Who is going to control the land? If you make yourself my ally, I will use my power to bring all Isra'el over to you."
13
David sent this reply: "Very well, I will be your ally - on one condition: you will not come into my presence unless at the same time you bring with you Mikhal Sha'ul's daughter."
14
David sent messengers to say to Ish-Boshet the son of Sha'ul, "Give me back my wife Mikhal. I betrothed her to myself for 100 foreskins of the P'lishtim."
15
Ish-Boshet sent and took her from her husband Palti'el the son of Layish.
16
Her husband went with her, crying as he went, and followed her to Bachurim. But when Avner told him, "Go back," he returned.
