2 Samuel 3:16 In-Context

14 Then David sent messengers to Saul's son Ish-Bosheth, saying, "Give me my wife Michal. She was promised to me, and I killed a hundred Philistines to get her."
15 So Ish-Bosheth sent men to take Michal from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.
16 Michal's husband went with her, crying as he followed her to Bahurim. But Abner said to Paltiel, "Go back home." So he went home.
17 Abner sent this message to the older leaders of Israel: "You have been wanting to make David your king.
18 Now do it! The Lord said of David, 'Through my servant David, I will save my people Israel from the Philistines and all their enemies.'"
