So Ish-bosheth took her from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.
Her husband went along behind her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Finally Abner said to him,“Go back!” So he returned home.
Abner advised the elders of Israel,“Previously you were wanting David to be your king.
Act now! For the LORD has said to David,‘By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the Philistines and from all their enemies.’”
Then Abner spoke privately with the Benjaminites. Abner also went to Hebron to inform David privately of all that Israel and the entire house of Benjamin had agreed to.
When Abner, accompanied by twenty men, came to David in Hebron, David prepared a banquet for Abner and the men who were with him.
Abner said to David,“Let me leave so that I may go and gather all Israel to my lord the king so that they may make an agreement with you. Then you will rule over all that you desire.” So David sent Abner away, and he left in peace.
