Lalu Abner berkata kepada Daud, “Aku akan bangkit dan pergi untuk mengumpulkan seluruh Israel kepada tuanku raja, supaya mereka mengadakan perjanjian denganmu, dan engkau akan memerintah atas segala sesuatu yang dikehendaki hatimu.” Kemudian Daud melepas Abner pergi, dan ia pun pergi dengan selamat.
Midrash Tanchuma Buber
(Exod. 4:18, cont.:) AND HE SAID TO HIM: PLEASE LET ME GO AND RETURN TO MY KINSFOLK <IN EGYPT AND SEE WHETHER THEY ARE STILL ALIVE. AND JETHRO SAID TO MOSES: > [GO FOR PEACE]. Everyone of whom it is written, FOR PEACE, goes and returns; but everyone of whom it is written, GO IN PEACE, goes and does not return.79Tanh., Exod. 1:21; Exod. R. 5:3; similarly Ber. 64a; MQ 29a. Concerning Abner it is written (in II Sam. 3:21): AND DAVID AWAY SENT ABNER, WHO WENT IN PEACE. He went and did not return, but Jethro said to Moses: GO FOR PEACE. He went and did return. Thus it is stated (in Exod. 4:18): AND JETHRO SAID TO MOSES: GO FOR PEACE.
Midrash Tanchuma
And Jethro said to Moses: “Go for peace” (Exod. 3:18). You find that everyone about whom it is written Go for peace departs and returns in peace, and that everyone concerning whom it is said Go in peace departs but does not return (in peace). Jethro said to Moses: Go for peace. And he departed and he returned in peace.
