Now there was a man H376 of Benjamin, H1144 whose name H8034 was Kish, H7027 the son H1121 of Abiel, H22 the son H1121 of Zeror, H6872 the son H1121 of Bechorath, H1064 the son H1121 of Aphiah, H647 a Benjamite, H1145 a mighty H1368 man H376 of power. H2428

And the name H8034 of Saul's H7586 wife H802 was Ahinoam, H293 the daughter H1323 of Ahimaaz: H290 and the name H8034 of the captain H8269 of his host H6635 was Abner, H74 the son H1121 of Ner, H5369 Saul's H7586 uncle. H1730

And Kish H7027 was the father H1 of Saul; H7586 and Ner H5369 the father H1 of Abner H74 was the son H1121 of Abiel. H22

And when Saul H7586 saw H7200 David H1732 go H3318 forth H3318 against H7125 the Philistine, H6430 he said H559 to Abner, H74 the captain H8269 of the host, H6635 Abner, H74 whose H4310 son H1121 is this H2088 youth? H5288 And Abner H74 said, H559 As your soul H5315 lives, H2416 O king, H4428 I cannot H518 tell. H3045

But Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner, H5369 captain H8269 of Saul's H7586 host, H6635 took H3947 Ishbosheth H378 the son H1121 of Saul, H7586 and brought H5674 him over H5674 to Mahanaim; H4266

Ishbosheth H378 Saul's H7586 son H1121 was forty H705 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 over H5921 Israel, H3478 and reigned H4427 two H8147 years. H8141 But the house H1004 of Judah H3063 followed H1961 H310 David. H1732

And Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner, H5369 and the servants H5650 of Ishbosheth H378 the son H1121 of Saul, H7586 went H3318 out from Mahanaim H4266 to Gibeon. H1391

And Saul H7586 had a concubine, H6370 whose name H8034 was Rizpah, H7532 the daughter H1323 of Aiah: H345 and Ishbosheth said H559 to Abner, H74 Why H4069 have you gone H935 in to my father's H1 concubine? H6370

Then was Abner H74 very H3966 wroth H2734 for the words H1697 of Ishbosheth, H378 and said, H559 Am I a dog's H3611 head, H7218 which H834 against Judah H3063 do H6213 show H6213 kindness H2617 this day H3117 to the house H1004 of Saul H7586 your father, H1 to his brothers, H251 and to his friends, H4828 and have not delivered H4672 you into the hand H3027 of David, H1732 that you charge H6485 me to day H3117 with a fault H5771 concerning this woman? H802

And when Abner H74 was returned H7725 to Hebron, H2275 Joab H3097 took him aside H5186 in the gate H8179 to speak H1696 with him quietly, H7987 and smote H5221 him there H8033 under the fifth H2570 rib, that he died, H4191 for the blood H1818 of Asahel H6214 his brother. H251

And the king H4428 lamented H6969 over H413 Abner, H74 and said, H559 Died H4191 Abner H74 as a fool H5036 dies? H4194

And when all H3605 the people H5971 came H935 to cause David H1732 to eat H1262 meat H3899 while it was yet H5750 day, H3117 David H1732 swore, H7650 saying, H559 So H3541 do H6213 God H430 to me, and more H3254 also, H3541 if H3588 H518 I taste H2938 bread, H3899 or H176 ought H3972 else, till H6440 the sun H8121 be down. H935

For all H3605 the people H5971 and all H3605 Israel H3478 understood H3045 that day H3117 that it was not of the king H4428 to slay H4191 Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner. H5369

And Ner H5369 begat H3205 Kish; H7027 and Kish H7027 begat H3205 Saul; H7586 and Saul H7586 begat H3205 Jonathan, H3083 and Malchishua, H4444 and Abinadab, H41 and Eshbaal. H792

And David H1732 rose H7925 up early H7925 in the morning, H1242 and left H5203 the sheep H6629 with a keeper, H8104 and took, H5375 and went, H3212 as Jesse H3448 had commanded H6680 him; and he came H935 to the trench, H4570 as the host H2428 was going H3318 forth H3318 to the fight, H4634 and shouted H7321 for the battle.
