2 Samuel3:17
17 ¶ And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you .
Even in Saul's time you highly honoured him, and prized his conduct, and wished that the power were in his hands; and great numbers of you went to him, when he was in the Hold, 1 Chron. 12. And after Saul's death you would gladly have advanced him to the Crown, if your respect to Saul's Family, together with my Authority and Influence, had not diverted you.
Marginal references: Heb. both yesterday and the third [illegible: 1 word].
