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

    21Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires." 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."

    26When Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn't know it.

Today I show kindness to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman!

    9God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Yahweh has sworn to David, I don't do even so to him;

    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."
