2 Samuel 2:8-11

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.

11David remained in Hebron as king of Judah for seven and a half years.
