David
waxed
stronger

stronger

waxed
weaker

weaker

strkjv@2Samuel:3:2
@ And unto
David
were
sons
born

Abner
made himself
strong
for the

strkjv@2Samuel:3:7
@ And
Saul
had a
concubine

was

said
to
Abner
, Wherefore hast thou gone
in

strkjv@2Samuel:3:8

Abner
very
wroth

shew
kindness
this

strkjv@2Samuel:3:9
@ So
do
God
to

also

hath
sworn
to
David

do

could
not

feared

strkjv@2Samuel:3:12
@ And
Abner
sent
messengers
to
David

saying
also,

thy
league

strkjv@2Samuel:3:13
@ And he
said

I
require

is

first
bring
Michal

comest

Deliver
me my

espoused
to me for an
hundred

unto him,
Go

return

returned

strkjv@2Samuel:3:17
@ And
Abner
had
communication
with the
elders

,
saying
, Ye
sought
for
David
in
times
past
to be
king
over you:
strkjv@2Samuel:3:18
@ Now then
do
it: for the
LORD
hath
spoken
of
David
,
saying
, By the
hand
of my
servant
David
I will
save
my
people
Israel
out of the
hand
of the
Philistines
, and out of the
hand
of all their
enemies

strkjv@2Samuel:3:19
@ And
Abner
also
spake
in the
ears
of
Benjamin

Abner
went
also to
speak
in the
ears
of
David
in
Hebron
all that
seemed
good
to
Israel
, and that seemed
good
to the whole
house
of
Benjamin
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:20
@ So
Abner
came
to
David
to
Hebron
, and
twenty
men
with him. And
David
made
Abner
and the
men
that were with him a
feast
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:21
@ And
Abner
said
unto
David
, I will
arise

go
, and will
gather
all
Israel
unto my
lord
the
king
, that they may
make
a
league
with thee, and that thou mayest
reign
over all that thine
heart
desireth
. And
David
sent
Abner
away
; and he
went
in
peace
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:22
@ And, behold, the
servants
of
David
and
Joab
came
from pursuing a
troop
, and brought
in
a
great
spoil
with them: but
Abner
was not with
David
in
Hebron
; for he had sent him
away
, and he was
gone
in
peace
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:23
@ When
Joab
and all the
host
that was with him were
come

told
Joab
,
saying
,
Abner
the
son
of
Ner
came
to the
king
, and he hath sent him
away
, and he is
gone
in
peace
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:24
@ Then
Joab
came
to the
king
, and
said
, What hast thou
done
? behold,
Abner
came
unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him
away
, and he is
quite
gone
?
strkjv@2Samuel:3:25
@ Thou
knowest
Abner
the
son
of
Ner
, that he
came
to
deceive
thee, and to
know
thy going
out
and thy coming
in
, and to
know
all that thou
doest
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:26
@ And when
Joab
was come
out
from
David
, he
sent
messengers
after
Abner
, which brought him
again
from the
well
of
Sirah
: but
David
knew
it not.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:27
@ And when
Abner
was
returned
to
Hebron
,
Joab
took him
aside
in
H8432the
gate
to
speak
with him
quietly
, and
smote
him there under the
fifth
rib, that he
died
, for the
blood
of
Asahel
his
brother
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:28
@ And
afterward
when
David
heard
it, he
said
, I and my
kingdom
are
guiltless
before the
LORD
for
ever
from the
blood
of
Abner
the
son
of
Ner
:
strkjv@2Samuel:3:29
@ Let it
rest
on the
head
of
Joab
, and on all his

fail
from the
house
of
Joab
one that hath an
issue
, or that is a
leper
, or that
leaneth
on a
staff
, or that
falleth
on the
sword
, or that
lacketh
bread
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:30
@ So
Joab
and
Abishai
his
brother
slew
Abner
, because he had
slain
their
brother
Asahel
at
Gibeon
in the
battle
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:31
@ And
David
said
to
Joab
, and to all the
people
that were with him,
Rend
your
clothes
, and
gird
you with
sackcloth
, and
mourn
before
Abner
. And
king
David
himself
followed
the
bier
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:32
@ And they
buried
Abner
in
Hebron
: and the
king
lifted
up
his
voice
, and
wept
at the
grave
of
Abner
; and all the
people
wept
.
strkjv@2Samuel:3:33
@ And the
king
lamented
over
Abner

said
,
Died
Abner
as a
fool
dieth
?
strkjv@2Samuel:3:34
@ Thy
hands
were not
bound
, nor thy
feet
put
into
fetters
: as a man
falleth
before
wicked
men

fellest
thou. And all the
people
wept
again
over him.

sware
