You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
From what we know of Abner, he was deceitful. He would play whichever side would benefit him. After pledging allegiance to Saul's son, he goes to David and pledges allegiance. David was openly willing to forgive Abner, but some of David's men were not so forgiving. They killed Abner and David publicly chastises them and honors Abner as a fallen warrior. Forgiveness is always the right thing to do. God forgives us of our sins time after time after time.
Lord, thank you for forgiving us. Please help us to forgive others. Amen.
