Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away, so that he is gone?" — 2 Samuel 3:23-24 “You know that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.” — 2 Samuel 3:25 “Let all bitterness…be put away from you…Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:31-32 4.
