3:1

Now there was long
<0752>

war
<04421>

between the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

and the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_:

but David
<01732>

waxed
<01980> (8802)

stronger
<02390>

and stronger
<02390>_,

and the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

waxed
<01980> (8802)

weaker
<01800>

and weaker
<01800>_.

3:2

And unto David
<01732>

were sons
<01121>

born
<03205> (8735) (8675) <03205> (8795)

in Hebron
<02275>_:

and his firstborn
<01060>

was Amnon
<0550>_,

of Ahinoam
<0293>

the Jezreelitess
<03159>_;

3:3

And his second
<04932>_,

Chileab
<03609>_,

of Abigail
<026>

the wife
<0802>

of Nabal
<05037>

the Carmelite
<03761>_;

and the third
<07992>_,

Absalom
<053>

the son
<01121>

of Maacah
<04601>

the daughter
<01323>

of Talmai
<08526>

king
<04428>

of Geshur
<01650>_;

{Chileab: or, Daniel}

3:4

And the fourth
<07243>_,

Adonijah
<0138>

the son
<01121>

of Haggith
<02294>_;

and the fifth
<02549>_,

Shephatiah
<08203>

the son
<01121>

of Abital
<037>_;

3:5

And the sixth
<08345>_,

Ithream
<03507>_,

by Eglah
<05698>

David's
<01732>

wife
<0802>_.

These were born
<03205> (8795)

to David
<01732>

in Hebron
<02275>_.

3:6

And it came to pass, while there was war
<04421>

between the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

and the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

that Abner
<074>

made himself strong
<02388> (8693)

for the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>_.

3:7

And Saul
<07586>

had a concubine
<06370>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Rizpah
<07532>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Aiah
<0345>_:

and [Ishbosheth] said
<0559> (8799)

to Abner
<074>_,

Wherefore hast thou gone in
<0935> (8804)

unto my father's
<01>

concubine
<06370>_?

3:8

Then was Abner
<074>

very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)

for the words
<01697>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Am] I a dog's
<03611>

head
<07218>_,

which against Judah
<03063>

do shew
<06213> (8799)

kindness
<02617>

this day
<03117>

unto the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

thy father
<01>_,

to his brethren
<0251>_,

and to his friends
<04828>_,

and have not delivered
<04672> (8689)

thee into the hand
<03027>

of David
<01732>_,

that thou chargest
<06485> (8799)

me to day
<03117>

with a fault
<05771>

concerning this woman
<0802>_?

3:9

So do
<06213> (8799)

God
<0430>

to Abner
<074>_,

and more also
<03254> (8686)_,

except, as the LORD
<03068>

hath sworn
<07650> (8738)

to David
<01732>_,

even so I do
<06213> (8799)

to him;

3:10

To translate
<05674> (8687)

the kingdom
<04467>

from the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and to set up
<06965> (8687)

the throne
<03678>

of David
<01732>

over Israel
<03478>

and over Judah
<03063>_,

from Dan
<01835>

even to Beersheba
<0884>_.

3:11

And he could
<03201> (8804)

not answer
<07725> (8687)

Abner
<074>

a word
<01697>

again, because he feared
<03372> (8800)

him.

3:12

And Abner
<074>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to David
<01732>

on his behalf, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Whose [is] the land
<0776>_?

saying
<0559> (8800)

[also], Make
<03772> (8798)

thy league
<01285>

with me, and, behold, my hand
<03027>

[shall be] with thee, to bring about
<05437> (8687)

all Israel
<03478>

unto thee.

3:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Well
<02896>_;

I will make
<03772> (8799)

a league
<01285>

with thee: but one
<0259>

thing
<01697>

I require
<07592> (8802)

of thee, that is
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt not see
<07200> (8799)

my face
<06440>_,

except thou first
<06440>

bring
<0935> (8687)

Michal
<04324>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>_,

when thou comest
<0935> (8800)

to see
<07200> (8800)

my face
<06440>_.

{that is: Heb. saying}

3:14

And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to Ishbosheth
<0378>

Saul's
<07586>

son
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Deliver
<05414> (8798)

[me] my wife
<0802>

Michal
<04324>_,

which I espoused
<0781> (8765)

to me for an hundred
<03967>

foreskins
<06190>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.
