Joab kills Abner
6 Throughout the war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner was gaining power in Saul’s house. 7 Now Saul had a secondary wife named Rizpah, Aiah’s daughter. Ishbosheth[a] said to Abner, “Why have you had sex with my father’s secondary wife?”
8 Abner got very angry over what Ishbosheth had said.
“Am I some sort of dog’s head?”[b] Abner asked. “I’ve been nothing but loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his brothers and his friends. I haven’t handed you over to David, but today you accuse me of doing something wrong with this woman.
