2 Samuel 3:6-8

New American Standard Bible

Abner Joins David

⁶ Now it happened that while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, ^(A)Abner was ^[a]strengthening himself in the house of Saul. ⁷ And Saul had a concubine whose name was ^(B)Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and ^[b]Ish-bosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?” ⁸ Then Abner became very angry over Ish-bosheth’s ^[c]question and said, “^(C)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 let you fall into the hands of David; yet today you call me to account for wrongdoing with ^[d]that woman?
