2 Samuel 2
David has been anointed king over Israel as a youth before he became famous for killing Goliath in single combat.
King Saul and 3 of his sons have died in battle against the Philistines - so the time is now right for David to come into his destiny you would think.
David asked God if he should go to Judah and is given an affirmative response, while there David is proclaimed king of Judah, he sent word to the men who had rescued the bodies of Saul and his sons and gave them a decent funeral thanking them for their courage and assuring them of protection as king
Abner, son of Ner who had been Saul's battlechief for many years now declared Saul's youngest son Ish-Bosheth king over as much of Israel as he could persuade.
For 2 years a state of civil war appears to have existed between David in Judah and Ish-Bosheth.
They tried a symbolic battle between David's men, and Ish Bosheth's men but they wound up killing each other in no score draws.
The leaders of David's men, pursue Abner for quite some time until Abner points out that they are Israelites and really should not be doing this.
In the first battle, David's army comes out ahead.
