Abner and Ishbosheth Quarrel

2 Samuel 3:6-11
6
During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul.
7
Meanwhile, Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ish-bosheth questioned Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”
8
Abner was furious over Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!
9
May God punish Abner, and ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the LORD has sworn to him:
10
to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
11
And for fear of Abner, Ish-bosheth did not dare to say another word to him.
