10:003:001 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house
           of David:  but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house
           of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.

10:003:002 And unto David were sons born in Hebron:  and his firstborn was
           Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;

10:003:003 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the
           Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the
           daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;

10:003:004 And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth,
           Shephatiah the son of Abital;

10:003:005 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David’s wife.  These were born
           to David in Hebron.

10:003:006 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.

10:003:007 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter
           of Aiah:  and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou
           gone in unto my father’s concubine?

10:003:008 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and
           said, Am I a dog’s head, which against Judah do shew kindness
           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 chargest me to day with a fault concerning
           this woman?

10:003:009 So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the lord hath
           sworn to David, even so I do to him;

10:003:010 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.

10:003:011 And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared
           him.

10:003:012 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying,
           Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me, and,
           behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel
           unto thee.

10:003:013 And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee:  but one
           thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face,
           except thou first bring Michal Saul’s daughter, when thou
           comest to see my face.

10:003:014 And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul’s son, saying,
           Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an
           hundred foreskins of the Philistines.

10:003:015 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from
           Phaltiel the son of Laish.

10:003:016 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to
           Bahurim.  Then said Abner unto him, Go, return.  And he
           returned.
