The war between the house of Saul and the house of David continues in this chapter. David’s house grows stronger, while the house of Saul grows weaker and weaker.

Abner, in the house of Saul, was trying to strengthen his own position. He went to David to make a deal. He brought David’s promised wife Michal to him (even though she was wed to another).

When Joab, in David’s camp, found out Abner had come and gone, he was livid. He had men hunt down Abner and bring him to him. Joab killed him by stabbing him in the stomach. David was not happy about this!

Verse 29 says: “May his blood fall on the head of Joab and on his whole family! May Joab’s family never be without someone who has a running sore or leprosy or who leans on a crutch or who falls by the sword or who lacks food.” Dang! What a curse!
