2 Samuel 3:20-22
New International Version
20 When Abner, who had twenty men with him, came to David at Hebron, David prepared a feast(A) for him and his men. 21 Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once and assemble all Israel for my lord the king, so that they may make a covenant(B) with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.”(C) So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.
Joab Murders Abner
22 Just then David’s men and Joab returned from a raid and brought with them a great deal of plunder. But Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, because David had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
