Löydetty 2999 Tulokset: David As King
When Abner, accompanied by twenty men, came to David in Hebron, David prepared a feast for Abner and for the men who were with him. (2 Samuel 3, 20)
Then Abner said to David, "I will now go to assemble all Israel for my lord the king, that they may make an agreement with you; you will then be king over all whom you wish to rule." So David bade Abner farewell, and he went away in peace. (2 Samuel 3, 21)
Just then David's servants and Joab were coming in from an expedition, bringing much plunder with them. Abner, having been dismissed by David, was no longer with him in Hebron but had gone his way in peace. (2 Samuel 3, 22)
When Joab and the whole force he had with him arrived, he was informed, "Abner, son of Ner, came to David; he has been sent on his way in peace." (2 Samuel 3, 23)
So Joab went to the king and said: "What have you done? Abner came to you. Why did you let him go peacefully on his way? (2 Samuel 3, 24)
Joab then left David, and without David's knowledge sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the cistern of Sirah. (2 Samuel 3, 26)
Later David heard of it and said: "Before the LORD; I and my kingdom are forever innocent. (2 Samuel 3, 28)
Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, "Rend your garments, gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn over Abner." King David himself followed the bier. (2 Samuel 3, 31)
When they had buried Abner in Hebron, the king wept aloud at the grave of Abner, and the people also wept. (2 Samuel 3, 32)
And the king sang this elegy over Abner: "Would Abner have died like a fool? (2 Samuel 3, 33)
Then they went to console David with food while it was still day. But David swore, "May God do thus and so to me if I eat bread or anything else before sunset." (2 Samuel 3, 35)
All the people noted this with approval, just as they were pleased with everything that the king did. (2 Samuel 3, 36)
