lesserot - 2Samuel:3:6-21

lesserot@2Samuel:3:6 @ And it came to pass, while the war lasted between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner upheld with all his strength the house of Saul.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:7 @ And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Ayah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my fathers concubine?

lesserot@2Samuel:3:8 @ And Abner became very wroth because of the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I the chief of the dogs which belong to Judah? unto this day have I shown kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David; and yet thou chargest me today with a wrong committed with this woman?

lesserot@2Samuel:3:9 @ May God do so to Abner, and continue to do yet more to him, that, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so will I surely do to him;

lesserot@2Samuel:3:10 @ To transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to establish the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:11 @ And he could not answer Abner a word more in reply, because of his fear of him.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:12 @ And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring round unto thee all Israel.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:13 @ And he said, Well: I will indeed make a covenant with thee; but one thing I require of thee, namely, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal, Sauls daughter, when thou comest to see my face.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:14 @ And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, saying, Give up to me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:15 @ And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from the man, from Paltiel the son of Layish.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:16 @ And her husband went with her going along and weeping behind her as far as Bachurim: when Abner said unto him, Go, return. And he returned.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:17 @ And Abner had used these words with the elders of Israel, saying, Already yesterday and even before ye have been desiring David as king over you:

lesserot@2Samuel:3:18 @ And now do it; for the Lord hath said of David thus, By the hand of my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:19 @ And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of the whole house of Benjamin.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:20 @ And Abner came to David to Hebron, and with him were twenty men; and David made for Abner and for the men that were with him a feast.

lesserot@2Samuel:3:21 @ And Abner said unto David, I will now arise and go, and I will assemble unto my Lord the king all Israel, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul longeth for. And David dismissed Abner: and he went in peace.
