2 Samuel 3:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ May God strike me dead unless I do for David what the Lord had promised him with an oath: ¹⁰ ‘I, the Lord, will transfer the kingship from Saul’s family and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba.’ ” ¹¹ Ishbosheth couldn’t respond to a single word, because he was afraid of Abner.
