2 Samuel 3:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

^9-10 The Lord promised with an oath that he would take the kingdom away from Saul’s family and give it to David. And I swear I will make sure that happens. God will make David king of Judah and Israel. He will rule from Dan to Beersheba.^[a]” ¹¹ Ish Bosheth was too afraid of Abner to say anything in response.

¹² Abner sent messengers to David and said, “Who do you think should rule this country? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you become the ruler of all the people of Israel.”
