Now then do it: for the LORD hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 3 of 2 Samuel. Abner offers to transfer Israel’s allegiance to David and negotiates the restoration of Michal, Saul’s daughter and David’s former wife. David accepts, and Abner persuades the elders of Israel and the tribe of Benjamin to recognize him. The unity of the kingdom begins to be built through political agreements, but the narrative reminds us that the transition is surrounded by personal interests, old alliances, and family wounds. David receives Abner without using force to obtain the crown.

So tut's nun; denn der HERR hat von David gesagt: Ich will mein Volk Israel erretten durch die Hand Davids, meines Knechtes, von der Philister Hand und aller seiner Feinde Hand.
Ahora, pues, hacedlo; porque Jehová ha hablado a David, diciendo: Por la mano de mi siervo David libraré a mi pueblo Israel de mano de los Filisteos, y de mano de todos sus enemigos.
Ahora háganlo, porque Jehová le ha dicho a David: “Por medio de mi servidor David salvaré a mi pueblo Israel de manos de los filisteos y de todos sus enemigos”».
tablissez-le maintenant, car l'Eternel a dit de lui: C'est par David, mon serviteur, que je délivrerai mon peuple d'Israël de la main des Philistins et de la main de tous ses ennemis.
ora dunque, fate, perciocchè il Signore ha parlato intorno a Davide, dicendo: Per la mano di Davide, mio servitore, io salverò il mio popolo Israele dalla mano de’ Filistei, e dalla mano di tutti i loro nemici.
Fazei-o, pois, agora, porque o SENHOR falou a Davi, dizendo: Pela mão de Davi meu servo livrarei o meu povo das mãos dos filisteus e das mãos de todos os seus inimigos.
現在你們可以這樣做了。因為耶和華曾論到 大衛 說:『我必藉我僕人 大衛 的手,救我民 以色列 脫離 非利士 人和眾仇敵的手。』」
