Abner and Ishbosheth Quarrel

2 Samuel 3:6-11
6
During the war that was going on between the house of Sha'ul and the house of David, Avner strengthened his position in the house of Sha'ul.
7
Sha'ul had had a concubine named Ritzpah, the daughter of Ayah; and [Ish-Boshet] challenged Avner: "Why did you go and sleep with my father's concubine?"
8
These words of Ish-Boshet's enraged Avner. "What am I," he shouted, "[that you treat me with such contempt]? A dog's head in Y'hudah? Till this moment I have shown only kindness to the house of Sha'ul your father, and to his brothers and to his friends; and I haven't handed you over to David. Yet you choose today to pick a fight with me over this woman!
9
May God bring terrible curses on Avner and worse ones yet if I don't accomplish what ADONAI swore to David-
10
to transfer the kingdom from the house of Sha'ul and set up the throne of David over Isra'el and Y'hudah, from Dan all the way to Be'er-Sheva!"
11
Ish-Boshet couldn't answer Avner a word, because he was afraid of him.
