2 Samuel 3:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 And he said, “Good! I will make a covenant with you, only I require one thing of you, [a]namely, that (A)you shall not see my face unless you (B)first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see [b]me.” 14 So David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Give me my wife Michal, to whom I was betrothed (C)for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.” 15 Ish-bosheth sent men and [c]had her taken from her husband, from [d]Paltiel the son of Laish. 16 And her husband went with her, weeping as he went, [e]following her as far as (D)Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go, return.” So he returned.

New International Version
13 “Good,” said David. “I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”(A) 14 Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, “Give me my wife Michal,(B) whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.”
15 So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband(C) Paltiel(D) son of Laish. 16 Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim.(E) Then Abner said to him, “Go back home!” So he went back.
