    17And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, You sought for David in times past to be king over you.

    18Now then do it, for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.

    19And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin. And Abner went to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.

    20So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.

    21And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a league with you, and that you may reign over all that your heart desires. And David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.

    25You know Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.

    26And when Joab had gone out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.

    27And when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside at the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there under the fifth rib, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.

    28And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD forever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner.

    33And the king lamented over Abner and said, Did Abner die as a fool dies?

    10To transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.

    11And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
