2 Samuel 3:6-13
6And it came to pass while there wasH1961 warH4421 between the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, that AbnerH74 madeH2388 himself strongH2388 for the houseH1004 of SaulH7586.
7And SaulH7586 had a concubineH6370 whose nameH8034 was RizpahH7532, the daughterH1323 of AiahH345. And [Ishbosheth] saidH559 to AbnerH74, WhyH4069 hast thou goneH935 in to my father's concubineH6370?
8Then was AbnerH74 veryH3966 wroth for the wordsH1697 of Ishbosheth, and saidH559, Am I a dog's headH7218, I who against JudahH3063 do shew kindness this dayH3117 to the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 thy fatherH1, to his brethren, and to his friendsH4828, and have not delivered thee into the handH3027 of DavidH1732, that thou reproachest me this dayH3117 with the fault of this womanH802?
9SoH3651 do 1GodH430 to AbnerH74, and more also, if, as Jehovah has swornH7650 to DavidH1732, I do not soH3651 to him;
10to translate the kingdomH4467 from the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, and to setH6965 up the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063, from DanH1835 even to Beer-sheba!
11And he could not answer AbnerH74 a wordH1697 againH5750, because he fearedH3372 him.
12And AbnerH74 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732 on his behalf, sayingH559, Whose is the landH776? sayingH559 [also], MakeH3772 thy covenantH1285 with me, and behold, my handH3027 shall be with thee, to turnH5437 all IsraelH3478 to thee.
13And he saidH559, Well, I will makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee; onlyH389 I require oneH259 thingH1697 of thee, that is, Thou shalt not seeH7200 my faceH6440, except thou first bringH935 MichalH4324 Saul's daughterH1323, when thou comest to seeH7200 my faceH6440.
