2 Samuel 3:11-13
Living Bible
11 Ish-bosheth made no reply, for he was afraid of Abner.
12 Then Abner sent messengers to David to discuss a deal—to surrender the kingdom of Israel to him in exchange for becoming commander-in-chief of the combined armies of Israel and Judah.
13 “All right,” David replied, “but I will not negotiate with you unless you bring me my wife Michal, Saul’s daughter.”

2 Samuel 3:11-13
New International Version
11 Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him.
12 Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, “Whose land is it? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.”
13 “Good,” said David. “I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”(A)
