2 Samuel 3:19-21

Lexham English Bible

¹⁹ Abner also spoke privately to Benjamin.^[a] Abner also went to speak to David^[b] in Hebron, all that was good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.

²⁰ Then Abner came to David in Hebron and with him were twenty men. David had prepared a feast for Abner and for the men who were with him. ²¹ And Abner said to David, “Let me get up and go and gather all of Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant^[c] with you so you can reign over all which your soul desires.” So David dismissed Abner, and he left in peace.
