◄ H378 ►

But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took H378 the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;

H378 Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.

And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of H378 the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.

Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to H378 the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.

Then was Abner very wroth for the words of H378, 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?

And David sent messengers to H378 Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines.

And H378 sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish.

And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of H378, who lay on a bed at noon.

And they brought the head of H378 unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of H378 the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of H378, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
