  2. Exposition

What was the purpose of the feast that David made for Abner and the men who were with him?

2 Samuel 3:20 (ESV)

20 When Abner came with twenty men to David at Hebron, David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.

The feast could have been a celebration of Michal’s return to David, or more likely, a celebration of the agreement made between David and Abner and thus the end to hostilities.1
