2 Samuel 3:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ Her husband accompanied her to Bahurim, weeping all the way, but Abner told him, “Go back,” so he went home.

¹⁷ Abner also delivered the following message to the elders of Israel: “Day after day you have been seeking to have David as king over you. ¹⁸ Now do it, because the Lord said to David, ‘By the hand of my servant David I will rescue^[a] my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.’”
