2 Samuel 3:6-8

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁶ During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner kept acquiring more power in the house of Saul.^{(A) 7} Now Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah^(B) daughter of Aiah, and Ish-bosheth questioned Abner, ‘Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine? ’

⁸ Abner was very angry about Ish-bosheth’s accusation. ‘Am I a dog’s head^[a](C) who belongs to Judah? ’ he asked. ‘All this time I’ve been loyal to the family of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends and haven’t betrayed you to David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!
