“The Lord Has Spoken of David…”

“The Lord Has Spoken of David…”

Blessings folk!

Abner continues to lay the ground work for the kingdom to be unified under David as King.

Abner knew things.

We see so here…

2Sa 3:17-18

Now Abner had consultation with the elders of Israel, saying,
“In times past you were seeking for David to be king over you.

“Now then, do it! For the LORD has spoken of David, saying,
‘By the hand of My servant David I will save My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.’”

Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin;
and in addition Abner went to speak in the hearing of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.

Abner met with the elders of Israel.
He reminded them of how, in times past, they had sought David as king.

He now tells them to “do it”!

He reminds them of how the Lord had spoken to the issue.
The Lord had said…

  • by the hand of My servant David
  • I will save My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines/enemies.

Abner spoke the same to the Benjaminites.

Abner then went to David in Hebron and told them “all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin”.

Things were moving toward unity.

Looks good.

What could possibly happen?
