14And David sent men to Saul's son Ish-bosheth, saying, Give me back Michal, my wife, whom I made mine for the price of the private parts of a hundred Philistines.
15So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.
16And her husband went with her as far as Bahurim, weeping while he went. Then Abner said to him, Go back. And he went back.
17Then Abner had a talk with the chief men of Israel, saying, In the past it was your desire to make David your king: so now, do it:
18For the Lord has said of David, By the hand of my servant David I will make my people Israel safe from the Philistines, and from all who are against them.
19And Abner said the same things to Benjamin: and he went to David in Hebron to make clear to him what seemed good to Israel and to all the people of Benjamin.
20So Abner, with twenty men, came to Hebron, to David. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.
