    9 and made him king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin—over all Israel.

    10 Saul’s son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned for two years. The house of Judah, however, followed David.

    11 And the length of time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.

    12 One day Abner son of Ner and the servants of Ish-bosheth son of Saul marched out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
