David's ascesion to the throne of Israel was still a slow one. David didn't just assume, rather, he asked the Lord what he should do. And then he listened. This is a good principal to live by - talk to God & then listen. While David ruled over the house of Judah, the commander of Saul's army anointed Saul's son king over Israel. Thus a civil war broke out. During this war, David's armies grew stronger, while Abner's armies grew weaker.
So what can we learn from this other than to listen to God? There will always be people who seek power & are willing to attain it through force. However, when you are willing to listen to God & follow his plan, God will show you favor. So, once again - talk to God & then listen & do.
