2. And sons were born unto David in Hebron; and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess;
3. and his second, Chileab, of Abigail who had been the wife of Nabal of Carmel; and the third, Absalom, the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;
4. and the fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
5. and the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah, David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
6. And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
7. And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbosheth said to Abner, Why hast thou gone in unto my father’s concubine?
8. Then Abner was very angry for the words of Ishbosheth and said, Am I a dog’s head in regard to Judah? I have shown mercy this day unto the house of Saul, thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends and have not delivered thee into the hand of David that thou dost charge me today with iniquity concerning this woman?
9. Let God do to Abner and more also unless, as the Lord has sworn to David, so do I unto him,
10. to translate 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.
