2 Samuel 3:7-11
Rizpah <07532> [Rizpah.]
have sexual relations <0935> [Wherefore.]
This action of Abner's seems a most evident proof that he intended to seize on the government; and it was so understood by Ish-bosheth; see Parallel Texts.
have sexual relations <0935> [gone in.]
Abner <074> [Abner.]
head .... dog <03611 07218> [Am I a dog's head.]
This was a proverbial expression among the Hebrews to denote whatever was deemed worthless and contemptible. Something similar to this was the answer of the Turkish commander at Beer, on the Euphrates, to a request made to see the castle. "Do they," said he, "take me for a child, or an ass's head, that they would feed me with sweet meats, and dupe me with a bit of cloth? No, they shall not see the castle."
demonstrating <06213> [do shew.]
God .......... do <06213 0430> [So do God.]
Lord <03068> [as the Lord.]
Dan <01835> [from Dan.]
afraid <03372> [because.]
