What Does 2 Samuel 3:20 Mean?
Abner comes to David in Hebron with a delegation of twenty men, and David receives them generously with a feast. The meeting is marked by hospitality and apparent goodwill.
To share a meal was to seal trust and fellowship. David extends grace to the man who had long opposed him, choosing reconciliation over old grievance. In this open-handed welcome we glimpse the heart of a king who would rather gather than destroy, a faint echo of the greater King who spreads a table even for those once far off.
