It's hard to believe, but they're fighting again! Saul has just died at the hands of the Philistines and now the Israelites are fighting again - this time with each other! Will they ever stop?
When David is annointed as King, Abner defects. He defects and makes Saul's son, Ishbosheth, king. In the end, after many causualties of Abner's men, Abner finally requests a truce. And... they all depart from the battlefield. Hopefully this truce would last for awhile. But, don't hold your breath!
Seems there is always something to fight about. Sure will be nice when there is no more war and we all live in peace.
