Abner Persuades Israel's Elders

2 Samuel 3:17-21
17
Then Avner conferred with the leaders of Isra'el. He said, "In the past, you wanted David to be king over you.
18
So now, do it. For ADONAI has said of David, 'Through my servant David I will rescue my people Isra'el from the power of the P'lishtim and from the power of all their enemies.'"
19
Avner also spoke with the people of Binyamin. Then Avner went to Hevron and reported to David everything that had been agreed to by Isra'el and the house of Binyamin.
20
When Avner came to David in Hevron he brought twenty men with him. David held a feast for Avner and his men.
21
Avner said to David, "I must get up and go to gather all Isra'el to my lord the king, so that they can make a covenant with you. Then you will be able to rule over everything your heart desires." David sent Avner off, giving him safe conduct.
