2 Samuel 3:6-13

6Now it happenedH1961 that while there was warH4421 betweenH996 the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, 1AbnerH74 was 2strengtheningH2388 himself in the houseH1004 of SaulH7586. 7And SaulH7586 had a concubineH6370 whose nameH8034 was 3RizpahH7532, the daughterH1323 of AiahH345; and 4Ish-bosheth saidH559 to AbnerH74, “WhyH4069 have you goneH935 inH935 to my father’sH1 concubineH6370?” 8Then AbnerH74 becameH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734 overH5921 Ish-bosheth’sH378 5questionH1697 and saidH559, “6Am I a dog’sH3611 headH7218 that belongs to JudahH3063? TodayH3117 I showH6213 kindnessH2617 to the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 your fatherH1, to his brothersH251 and to his friendsH4828, and have not letH4672 you fallH4672 into the handsH3027 of DavidH1732; yet todayH3117 you callH6485 me toH6485 accountH6485 for wrongdoingH5771 with 7that womanH802? 98May GodH430 doH6213 soH3541 to 9meH74, and moreH3254 soH3541, ifH3588 10as the LordH3068 has swornH7650 to DavidH1732, I do not accomplishH6213 thisH3651 for him: 1011to transferH5674 the kingdomH4467 from the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, and to establishH6965 the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 overH5921 IsraelH3478 and overH5921 JudahH3063, 12from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884!” 11And Ish-bosheth couldH3201 noH3808 longerH5750 sayH7725 a wordH1697 inH7725 responseH7725 to AbnerH74, becauseH4480 he wasH3372 afraidH3372 of him.

12Then AbnerH74 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732 at his placeH8478, sayingH559, “WhoseH4310 is the landH776? MakeH3772 your covenantH1285 with me, and beholdH2009, my handH3027 shall be with you to bringH5437 allH3605 IsraelH3478 overH5437 to you.” 13And he saidH559, “GoodH2896! I will makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with you, onlyH389 I requireH7592 oneH259 thingH1697 of you, 13namelyH559, that 14you shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440 unlessH3588H518 you 15firstH6440 bringH935 MichalH4324, Saul’sH7586 daughterH1323, when you comeH935 to seeH7200 16me.”
