9May God's punishment be on Abner, if I do not for David as the Lord in his oath has said,
10And if I do not take away the kingdom from the family of Saul and make David ruler over Israel and Judah from Dan as far as Beer-sheba!
11And so great was Ish-bosheth's fear of Abner that he was not able to say a word in answer.
12And Abner sent men to David at Hebron, saying, Make an agreement with me, and I will give you my support in getting all Israel on your side.
13And he said, It is well; I will make an agreement with you, but on one condition, which is, that when you come before me, Saul's daughter Michal is to come with you; till she comes you will not see my face.
14And David sent men to Saul's son Ish-bosheth, saying, Give me back Michal, my wife, whom I made mine for the price of the private parts of a hundred Philistines.
15So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.
