And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned. And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
2 Samuel 3:16 stands within the account of internal troubles and unsettled events connected with establishing David's reign. It belongs to the opening of the long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. That opening unfolds in the history of Abner's revolt to David.
It is part of the events that led to David becoming king over all Israel. In those events Michal, Saul's daughter and David's first wife, was restored to him. That restoration gave David a connection to Saul's house and a hold among the northern people.
