2 Samuel 3:35-37

Living Bible

^35-36 David had refused to eat anything the day of the funeral, and now everyone begged him to take a bite of supper. But David vowed that he would eat nothing until sundown. This pleased his people, just as everything else he did pleased them! ³⁷ Thus the whole nation, both Judah and Israel, understood from David’s actions that he was in no way responsible for Abner’s death.
