2 Samuel 3:6-12

6And it came to pass, while there was warH4421 between the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, that AbnerH74 made himself strongH2388 for the houseH1004 of SaulH7586. 7And SaulH7586 had a concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was RizpahH7532, the daughterH1323 of AiahH345: and Ish–bosheth saidH559 to AbnerH74, Wherefore hast thou gone inH935 unto my father’sH1 concubineH6370? 8Then was AbnerH74 veryH3966 wrothH2734 for the wordsH1697 of Ish–boshethH378, and saidH559, Am I a dog’sH3611 headH7218, which against JudahH3063 do shewH6213 kindnessH2617 this dayH3117 unto the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 thy fatherH1, to his brethrenH251, and to his friendsH4828, and have not deliveredH4672 thee into the handH3027 of DavidH1732, that thou chargestH6485 me to dayH3117 with a faultH5771 concerning this womanH802? 9So doH6213 GodH430 to AbnerH74, and more alsoH3254, except, as YhwhH3068 hath swornH7650 to DavidH1732, even so I doH6213 to him; 10To translateH5674 the kingdomH4467 from the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, and to set upH6965 the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063, from DanH1835 even to Beer–shebaH884. 11And he couldH3201 not answerH7725 AbnerH74 a wordH1697 again, because he fearedH3372 him.

12And AbnerH74 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732 on his behalf, sayingH559, Whose is the landH776? sayingH559 also, MakeH3772 thy leagueH1285 with me, and, behold, my handH3027 shall be with thee, to bring aboutH5437 all IsraelH3478 unto thee.
