00:16 Hello and welcome to His Words are Life.
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer and today we're reading in the book of 2 Samuel
00:21 the story of David immediately following the death of Saul.
00:27 Abner, Sauls former body guard and assistant, has begun to
00:33 strengthen his hand in the camp of people that are faithful
00:36 to Saul and there are those who are afraid of Abner.
00:39 And we're going to pick up the story of Abner and his dealings
00:42 with David. But let's pray together first.
00:45 Dear God, we want to ask your Holy Spirit to come and to bring
00:51 to our hearts and understanding of the words that we will hear
00:54 during this time, that they may be written into our hearts
00:59 to be used for your purposes and to your glory.
01:02 We love you so much and thank you for loving us. Amen
01:05 Picking up in 2 Samuel, chapter three, verse twelve.
01:11 This is the King James Version.
01:13 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying,
01:18 Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me,
01:23 and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about
01:27 all Israel unto thee. And he said, Well, I will make a league
01:31 with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is,
01:35 Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal
01:40 Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
01:43 And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul's son, saying,
01:48 Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for
01:52 100 foreskins of the Philistines.
01:54 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband,
01:58 even from Phaltiel the son of Laish. And her husband went
02:03 with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner
02:10 unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
02:13 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel,
02:17 saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:
02:20 Now then do it: for the Lord hath spoken of David, saying,
02:23 By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel
02:27 out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand
02:29 of all their enemies. And Abner also spake in the ears of
02:34 Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David
02:37 in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good
02:40 to the whold house of Benjamin: So Abner came to David to Hebron
02:45 and 20 men with him. And David made Abner and the men that
02:49 were with him a feast. And Abner said unto David,
02:53 I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord
02:57 the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou
03:01 mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth.
03:03 And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
03:08 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from
03:13 pursuing a troup, and brought in a great spoil with them:
03:17 but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away
03:21 and he was gone in peace. When Joab and all the host that was
03:25 with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of
03:29 Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away,
03:31 and he is gone in peace. Then Joab came to the king,
03:35 and said, What hast hou done? behold, Abner came unto thee;
03:39 why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?
03:42 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive
03:46 thee and to know that going out and thy coming in, and
03:49 to know all that thou doest. And when Joab was come out
03:53 from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him
03:57 again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.
