Excerpt from Discourse Commemorative of the Late Hon. Ambrose Spencer: Late Chief Justice of the State of New York; Delivered in the Second Presbyterian Church, Albany, on Sabbath Evening, April 20, 1848 Shortly after this, Abner having become incensed against Ishbosheth, by reason of a charge of un worthy conduct which he had brought against him, solemnly vowed unto the Lord that he would trans late the kingdom from the house of Saul, and set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah. And forthwith he entered into a correspondence with David, and actually had a private meeting with him, with a view to the accomplishment of his purpose. When Joab came to be informed of this, he had no confidence in Abner's sincerity, and expressed to David, his uncle, the full conviction that he was only playing the spy upon his move ments; and he immediately so far took the matter into his own hands, as to despatch to Abner a mes senger, with a request that he would return for the purpose of some farther communication with the king. Abner, unsuspicious of any evil design, com plied with the request; and the moment that he appeared in Joab's presence, the wretch, without asking any explanation, or preferring any charge, coolly let out his heart's blood. It was an offering no doubt partly to revenge and partly to ambition; for while he looked upon Abner as the murderer of his brother, he was not without apprehension that he might become a formidable rival to himself.
