2 Samuel 3:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ Abner sent this message to the leaders of Israel. He said, “For a long time you have wanted to make David your king. ¹⁸ Now do it! The Lord was talking about David when he said, ‘I will save my people the Israelites from the Philistines and all their other enemies. I will do this through my servant David.’”

¹⁹ Abner said these things to David in Hebron, and he said these things to the people of the tribe of Benjamin. The things Abner said sounded good to the tribe of Benjamin and to all the people of Israel.
