David retained many of the older organizational plans of the army, such as holding the position of commander in chief himself, appointing field commanders like Joab, Abner, and Amasa, and having under them the heads over thousands and over hundreds. (2Samuel 18:1; 1King 2:32; 1Chronicle 13:1; 18:15)

Which king? There are a number of kings in the Iliad on both sides of the fray. The great king Agamemnon (of Mycenae) is the commander in chief of the Achaean muster. His brother Menelaus is king of Sparta. Nestor of Pylos, Idomeneus of Crete, and Diomedes of Argos are among the other Greek kings. On the Trojan side, King Priam of Troy is commander in chief of the defending forces. The The Thracian king, Rhesus, is among his allies.
Abner did not kill Absalom. Joab, the commander of David's army did (II Samuel 18:14-15). Before David died Joab joined himself with Adonijah as Adonijah wanted to be king when David died. Adonijah was put to death by Solomon and shortly after that Solomon had Joab put to death. King Solomon was David's youngest son.
King David had two prophets who guided him; Gad the Seer and Nathan the Prophet. Nathan was the chief one of the two.
There are several men who did this. Probably the one who did this most often was his Chief Prophet, Nathan.
