2 Samuel 3:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ Saul once had a ·slave woman [concubine; ^Ca secondary wife of lower status than a primary wife, but higher than a common servant] named Rizpah, who was the daughter of Aiah. Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, “Why ·did you have sexual relations with [^Lhave you gone in to] my father’s ·slave woman [concubine]?”

⁸ Abner was ·very angry [furious; in a rage] because of what Ish-Bosheth said, and he replied, “I have ·been loyal [shown kindness/faithful love] to [^Lthe house of your father] Saul and his ·family [^Lbrothers] and friends! I didn’t hand you over to David. ·I am not a traitor working for Judah! [^LAm I a Judean dog/dog’s head for Judah?] But now you are ·saying I did something wrong with [finding fault with me/charging me with wrong regarding] this woman! ⁹ May God ·help [deal severely with] me if I don’t ·join David! I will make sure that what the Lord promised does happen [^L…accomplish for David everything the Lord has promised him]!
