2 Samuel 3:17-21
17Meanwhile, Abner sent the following message to the leaders of Israel: “For some time now you’ve wanted to make David your king.
18Do it now, because the Lord said about David: ‘I will save my people Israel from the Philistines and all their other enemies through my servant David.’ ”
19Abner also spoke specifically to the people of Benjamin. Then Abner went directly to David in Hebron to tell him everything Israel and the entire tribe of Benjamin had approved.
20So Abner came with 20 men to David in Hebron, and David had a feast for Abner and his men.
21Abner told David, “I must go now so that I can gather all Israel for you, Your Majesty. They will make a treaty with you, and you will rule everything your heart desires.” Then David dismissed Abner, who left peacefully.
