In Context

8 Then was Abner very angry for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, |Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman!

9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Yahweh has sworn to David, I don't do even so to him;

10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.|

11 He could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.

12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, |Whose is the land?| and saying, |Make your alliance with me, and behold, my hand shall be with you, to bring all Israel around to you.|

13 He said, |Good; I will make a treaty with you; but one thing I require of you. That is, you shall not see my face, unless you first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face.|
