David 2022 page 11 by ric gustafson
On the day a son was born to David, he married Haggith.
David smiled as he held Absalom. " I promise you a son like that".
Joab and Abishai drove David's army to victory over Abner's armies.
One day, David welcomed Abner and his aides. They were led into a room less formal.
David grinned. " You have come with Michal".
" Yes". Abner groaned. " You can have her".
" What news do you bring?".
" I met with the elders of Israel". His voice hesitated. " I discussed with them about making a compact with you".
" Go in peace". They embraced. " Safe journey".
Later that afternoon, there was much feasting and dancing. David was singing songs full of joy and praise for the future of Israel. Abigail made sure everyone had plenty of food and wine.
