2 Samuel 3:10 Summary
This verse is talking about how God is going to take the kingdom away from Saul's family and give it to David, who will be the king of all Israel, from the north to the south. This is a fulfillment of God's promise to David, as seen in 2 Samuel 7:12-16. It's like when God makes a plan, and even though it may take time, He will make it happen, just like He did with David. We can trust in God's plan and timing, just like Abner did, and support those whom God has chosen to lead us, as mentioned in Romans 13:1-2.
