Why did Abner decide to help David? He was upset with Ishbosheth’s rebuke of his fornication with Saul’s concubine
What did David require of Abner before he would receive him? That he bring Michal (David’s first wife that Saul had given to Paltiel, another man)
What promise from God did Israel recognize? That God would save Israel from the Philistines and other enemies by the hand of David
Why did Joab kill Abner? For killing his brother in the war before a truce was called
What was wise about David’s reaction to Abner’s death? he proved that he was not guilty or even happy about Abner’s death; he fasted all day, so the people were convinced of David’s true sorrow; he publicly lamented Abner’s death
Who killed Ishbosheth? Baanah and Rechab
What did they do after they killed him? They took his head to David in Hebron and announced that they had avenged Ishbosheth’s pursuit of David
