## 2 Samuel 3:11 in Context (Verses 8–14 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/2-samuel/3/8) Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, *Am* I a dog’s head, which against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
 
 [9 ](/kjv/2-samuel/3/9) So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-samuel/3/10) To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-samuel/3/11) And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-samuel/3/12) ¶ And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose *is* the land? saying *also*, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand *shall be* with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-samuel/3/13) ¶ And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-samuel/3/14) And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Saul’s son, saying, Deliver *me* my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
