2 Samuel 3:6-12

6And it comeH1961 to passH1961, whileH1961 there was warH4421 betweenH996 the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, that AbnerH74 madeH2388 himselfH2388 strongH2388 in the houseH1004 of SaulH7586.

7NowH935 SaulH7586 had a concubineH6370, whoseH8034 nameH8034 was RizpahH7532, the daughterH1323 of AiahH345: and Ish-boshethH559 saidH559 to AbnerH74, Wherefore hast thou goneH935 in unto my father’sH1 concubineH6370?

8Then was AbnerH74 veryH3966 wroth for the wordsH1697 of Ish-boshethH378, and saidH559, Am I a dog’sH3611 headH7218 that belongeth to JudahH3063? This dayH3117 doH6213 I shew kindnessH2617 unto the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 thy fatherH1, to his brethrenH251, and to his friendsH4828, and have notH3808 deliveredH3027 thee intoH413 the handH3027 of DavidH1732, and yet thou chargest meH413 this dayH3117 with a faultH4672 concerning this womanH802.

9GodH430 doH6213 soH3651 to AbnerH74, and moreH3254 also, ifH3588, as the LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 to DavidH1732, I doH6213 notH3254 evenH3588 soH3651 to him;

10to translate the kingdomH4467 from the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, and to setH6965 upH6965 the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063, from DanH1835 evenH5704 to Beer-sheba.

11And he couldH3201 notH3808 answerH7725 AbnerH74 anotherH5750 wordH1697, becauseH3372 he fearedH3372 him.

12And AbnerH74 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732 on his behalfH5973, sayingH559, WhoseH4310 is the landH776? sayingH559 also, MakeH3772 thy leagueH1285 with meH413, and, beholdH2009, my handH3027 shall be with thee, to bringH5437 aboutH413 allH3605 IsraelH3478 unto thee.
