2 Samuel 3:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin; and in addition Abner went to speak in the hearing of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and to ^(A)the whole house of Benjamin.

²⁰ Then Abner and twenty men with him came to David at Hebron. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him. ²¹ Abner said to David, “Let me arise and go and ^(B)gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that ^(C)you may be king over all that your soul desires.” So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.
