2 Samuel 2:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “Therefore, now, let your hands be strong, and be valiant! For your master Saul is dead, nevertheless the House of Judah has anointed me king over them.”

⁸ But Abner, the son of Ner, who was captain of Saul’s army, took Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, and brought him to Mahanaim,

⁹ and made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
