2Sa 3:2, Sons were born to David in Hebron:
David was a man after GOD’s own heart, yet he had 6 wives and would take another wife who was already married to another man?
Deu 17:17, NEITHER SHALL HE MULTIPLY WIVES FOR HIMSELF, LEST HIS HEART TURN AWAY; NOR SHALL HE GREATLY MULTIPLY SILVER AND GOLD FOR HIMSELF.
Abner, the real strength behind Ishbosheth, turns on his king to make David the new king over all of ISRAEL not just Judah! But, Abner was murdered by Joab for Abner had killed his brother! JOAB WAS AN AVENGER OF BLOOD!
This was a chaotic start to the reign of David but, David would not be king until the people of Israel SUBMITTED TO HIM FREELY!
2Sa 3:17-18, Now Abner HAD COMMUNICATED WITH THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL, saying, “IN TIME PAST YOU WERE SEEKING FOR DAVID TO BE KING OVER YOU. NOW THEN, DO IT! FOR THE LORD HAS SPOKEN OF DAVID, SAYING, ‘BY THE HAND OF MY SERVANT DAVID, I WILL SAVE MY PEOPLE ISRAEL
There can only be one KING and that KING is the KING of kings and LORD of lords! JESUS, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD WHO GAVE ALL FOR HIS PEOPLE! HE BECOMES OUR KING WHEN WE FREELY SUBMIT OURSELVES TO HIS WILL AND REIGN! NOT BY FORCE BUT BY LOVE!
Rom 8:14, FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THESE ARE SONS OF GOD.
