2. Samuelsbok 3,8

AbnerDavidIsh-boshethJudah
Anger

6 I løpet av konflikten mellom Sauls hus og Davids hus, fikk Abner større innflytelse i Sauls hus.

7 Saul hadde en medhustru ved navn Rispa, datter av Aja; og Isjbosjet sa til Abner, "Hvorfor har du vært med min fars medhustru?"

Da ble Abner meget sint over Isjbosjets ord og sa, "Er jeg et hundehode som tilhører Juda? I dag viser jeg godhet mot din far Sauls hus, mot hans brødre og mot hans venner, og har ikke overgitt deg til David; likevel anklager du meg i dag for feil med en kvinne?

9 Måtte Gud gjøre slik mot Abner, og mer også, hvis jeg ikke gjør for David som Herren har sverget til ham:

10 å flytte kongedømmet fra Sauls hus, og å etablere Davids trone over Israel og over Juda, fra Dan til Be'er-Sjeba!"
