Abner

Abner was King Saul's loyal Captain of the Guard. He playfully dismissed David when he asked to fight Goliath, but the boy earned his respect after winning the battle and later several military campaigns against the Phillistines.

When Saul turned against David, David crept into the royal encampment and took Saul's spear, before calling to Abner, saying he had done a poor job protecting his King. David then threw down the spear, showing he had no intention of harming Saul. He survived the battle at Gilboa.

Trivia
