2 Samuel 2:8-10

8Ner's son Abner was the leader of Saul's army. He took Saul's son Ish-Bosheth to Mahanaim.

9Abner gave Ish-Bosheth authority to rule as king over Gilead, Asher and Jezreel, as well as the tribes of Ephraim and Benjamin. So Ish-Bosheth became king of all Israel.

10Saul's son, Ish-Bosheth, was 40 years old when he became king over Israel. He ruled Israel for two years. But Judah's people were faithful to David as their king.
