What Does 2 Samuel 3:19 Mean?
Abner persuades Benjamin, Saul's own tribe, the hardest to win, and then travels to Hebron to lay before David everything that Israel and Benjamin had agreed. The way to a united kingdom is being cleared.
That even Saul's tribe should turn toward David shows how thoroughly the old house was passing away. What God has determined cannot be held back forever, not even by the loyalty of a king's own kin. The path is opening for the anointed one to receive the throne that was always meant for him.
