2 Samuel 3:16-18

Darby Translation

¹⁶ And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner to him, Go, return. And he returned.

¹⁷ Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David aforetime to be king over you;

¹⁸ and now do [it], for Jehovah has spoken of David, saying, By my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
