Now there was long
war
between the house
of Saul
and the house
of David:
but David
waxed
stronger
and stronger,
and the house
of Saul
waxed
weaker
and weaker.
And unto David
were sons
born
in Hebron:
and his firstborn
was Amnon,
of Ahinoam
the Jezreelitess;
And his second,
Chileab,
of Abigail
the wife
of Nabal
the Carmelite;
and the third,
Absalom
the son
of Maacah
the daughter
of Talmai
king
of Geshur;

And the fourth,
Adonijah
the son
of Haggith;
and the fifth,
Shephatiah
the son
of Abital;
And the sixth,
Ithream,
by Eglah
David's
wife.
These were born
to David
in Hebron.
And it came to pass, while there was war
between the house
of Saul
and the house
of David,
that Abner
made himself strong
for the house
of Saul.

And Saul
had a concubine,
whose name
was Rizpah,
the daughter
of Aiah:
and Ishbosheth said
to Abner,
Wherefore hast thou gone in
unto my father's
concubine?

Then was Abner
very

for the words
of Ishbosheth,
and said,
Am I a dog's

which against Judah
do shew
kindness
this day
unto the house
of Saul
thy father,
to his brethren,
and to his friends,
and have not delivered
thee into the hand
of David,
that thou chargest
me to day
with a fault
concerning this woman?

So do

and more also,
except, as the LORD
hath sworn
to David,
even so I do
to him;

To translate

from the house

and over Judah,

And he could
not answer
Abner
a word
again, because he feared
him.
And Abner
sent
messengers
to David
on his behalf, saying,
Whose is the land?
saying
also, Make
thy league
with me, and, behold, my hand
shall be with thee, to bring about
all Israel
unto thee.

And he said,

with thee: but one

I require
of thee, that is,
Thou shalt not see

bring

Saul's
daughter,
when thou comest

And David
sent

son,
saying,
Deliver
me my wife

which I espoused
to me for an hundred

of the Philistines.

And Ishbosheth
sent,
and took
her from her husband,
even from Phaltiel
the son
of Laish.
And her husband
went
with her along weeping
behind
her to Bahurim.
Then said
Abner
unto him, Go,
return.
And he returned.

And Abner
had communication
with the elders
of Israel,
saying,
Ye sought
for David
in times
past
to be king
over you:
Now then do
it: for the LORD
hath spoken
of David,
saying,
By the hand
of my servant
David
I will save
my people
Israel
out of the hand
of the Philistines,
and out of the hand
of all their enemies.
And Abner
also spake
in the ears
of Benjamin:
and Abner
went
also to speak
in the ears
of David
in Hebron
all that seemed
good
to Israel,
and that seemed good
to the whole house
of Benjamin.

And Abner

and go,
and will gather
all Israel
unto my lord
the king,
that they may make
a league
with thee, and that thou mayest reign
over all that thine heart
desireth.
And David
sent
Abner
away;
and he went
in peace.

And, behold, the servants
of David

came
from pursuing a troop,
and brought in
a great
spoil
with them: but Abner
was not with David
in Hebron;
for he had sent him away,
and he was gone
in peace.

which brought him again
from the well

but David

it not.

And when Abner
was returned
to Hebron,
Joab
took him aside
in
the gate
to speak
with him quietly,
and smote
him there under the fifth
rib, that he died,
for the blood
of Asahel
his brother.

And afterward
when David
heard
it, he said,
I and my kingdom
are guiltless
before the LORD
for
ever
from the blood
of Abner
the son
of Ner:
Let it rest
on the head
of Joab,
and on all his father's

and let there not fail

or that is a leper,
or that leaneth

And the king

Thy hands
were not bound,

into fetters:
as a man falleth

so fellest
thou. And all the people

shall reward
the doer of evil
