2 Samuel 3:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ Abner also talked to the leaders of the tribe of Benjamin; then he went to Hebron and reported to David his progress with the people of Israel and Benjamin. ²⁰ Twenty men accompanied him, and David entertained them with a feast.

²¹ As Abner left, he promised David, “When I get back I will call a convention of all the people of Israel, and they will elect you as their king, as you’ve so long desired.” So David let Abner return in safety.
