2 Samuel 3:6-13
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 Ishbosheth saidH559 to AbnerH74, Why hast thou gone inH935 to my father’sH1 concubineH6370? 8Then was AbnerH74 veryH3966 angryH2734 for the wordsH1697 of IshboshethH378, and saidH559, Am I a dog’sH3611 headH7218, who against JudahH3063 do showH6213 kindnessH2617 this dayH3117 to 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 the LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 to DavidH1732, even so I doH6213 to him; 10To pass onH5674 the kingdomH4467 from the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, and to set upH6965 the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884. 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 to thee. 13And he saidH559, WellH2896; I will makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with thee: but oneH259 thingH1697 I requireH7592 of thee, that isH559, Thou shalt not seeH7200 my faceH6440, except thou shalt firstH6440 bringH935 MichalH4324 Saul’sH7586 daughterH1323, when thou comestH935 to seeH7200 my faceH6440.1
