2 Samuel 3:17-21

17Now AbnerH74 had communicated with the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Ye soughtH1245 for DavidH1732 aforetime to beH1961 kingH4428 over you;

18and nowH6258 do [it], for Jehovah has spoken of DavidH1732, sayingH559, By my servantH5650 DavidH1732 will I saveH3467 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430, and out of the handH3027 of all their enemiesH341.

19And AbnerH74 alsoH1571 spokeH1696 in the earsH241 of BenjaminH1144; and AbnerH74 went alsoH1571 to speakH1696 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732 in HebronH2275 all that seemed goodH2896 to IsraelH3478, and that seemed goodH2896 to the whole houseH1004 of BenjaminH1144.

20So AbnerH74 cameH935 to DavidH1732 to HebronH2275, and twentyH6242 menH376 with him. And DavidH1732 madeH6213 AbnerH74 and the menH376 that were with him a repast.

21And AbnerH74 saidH559 to DavidH1732, I will ariseH6965 and goH7971, and will gatherH6908 all IsraelH3478 to my lordH113 the kingH4428, that they may makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee, and that thou mayest reignH4427 over all that thy heart desiresH183. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 AbnerH74 awayH7971; and he went in peaceH7965.
