Choose a new font size and typeface

Abner

was the commander of Saul's army. When Saul died, Abner took the king's son, Ish-bosheth, and made him king of Israel. During the Battle of Gibeon, Abner killed Asahel, one of David's mighty men. This led to hostility between himself and Asahel's brothers, Joab and Abishai. After a quarrel with Ish-bosheth, Abner convinced the elders of Israel that they should side with David. He was welcomed by David but was then murdered by Joab. David cursed Joab for killing Abner and held a public funeral for the murdered warrior. David called Abner "a prince and a great man" (3:38). (2 Samuel 3:38)
