8But 1AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, commanderH8269 of Saul’sH7586 armyH6635, had takenH3947 2Ish-boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586 and broughtH5674 him overH5674 to 3MahanaimH4266. 9He madeH4427 him kingH4427 overH413 4GileadH1568, overH413 the 5AshuritesH805, overH413 6JezreelH3157, overH5921 EphraimH669, and overH5921 BenjaminH1144, even overH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478. 10Ish-boshethH378, Saul’sH7586 sonH1121, was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478, and he was kingH4427 for twoH8147 yearsH8141. The houseH1004 of JudahH3063, howeverH389, followedH310 DavidH1732. 117The 8timeH4557H3117 that DavidH1732 was kingH4428 in HebronH2275 overH5921 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 was sevenH7651 yearsH8141 and sixH8337 monthsH2320.
12Now AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, wentH3318 out from MahanaimH4266 to 9GibeonH1391 with the servantsH5650 of Ish-boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586. 13And 10JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 and the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 wentH3318 out and metH6298 11them by the poolH1295 of GibeonH1391; and they satH3427 downH3427, 12oneH428 on the oneH2088 sideH2088 of the poolH1295 and 13the otherH2088 on the otherH2088 sideH2088 of the poolH1295. 14Then AbnerH74 saidH559 to JoabH3097, “NowH4994 let the youngH5288 menH5288 ariseH6965 and 1415holdH7832 a contestH7832 beforeH6440 us.” And JoabH3097 saidH559, “Let them ariseH6965.”
