2 Samuel 3:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ Now do it! The Lord made a promise to David. He said, ‘I will rescue my people Israel from the power of the Philistines. I will also rescue them from all their enemies. I will rescue them through my servant David.’ ”

¹⁹ Abner also spoke to the people of Benjamin in person. Then he went to Hebron to tell David everything. He told him what Israel and all the people of Benjamin wanted to do. ²⁰ Abner had 20 men with him. They came to David at Hebron. So David prepared a feast for Abner and his men.
