| Joab replied, “As surely as God lives, if you had not said this, it would have been morning before the people would have abandoned pursuit 1 of their brothers!” |
| (1.00) | 2Sa 3:8 |
| These words of Ish-bosheth really angered Abner and he said, “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah? This very day I am demonstrating 1 loyalty to the house of Saul your father and to his relatives 2 and his friends! I have not betrayed you into the hand of David. Yet you have accused me of sinning with this woman today! 3 |

| Ish-bosheth 1 was unable to answer Abner with even a single word because he was afraid of him. |
| (1.00) | 2Sa 3:17 |
| Abner advised 1 the elders of Israel, “Previously you were wanting David to be your king. 2 |

| When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside at the gate as if to speak privately with him. Joab then stabbed him 1 in the abdomen and killed him, avenging the shed blood of his brother Asahel. 2 |
| (1.00) | 2Sa 3:28 |
| When David later heard about this, he said, “I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the Lord of the shed blood of Abner son of Ner! |
| (1.00) | 2Sa 3:29 |
| May his blood whirl over 1 the head of Joab and the entire house of his father! 2 May the males of Joab’s house 3 never cease to have 4 someone with a running sore or a skin disease or one who works at the spindle 5 or one who falls by the sword or one who lacks food!” |

| (1.00) | 2Sa 5:17 |
| When the Philistines heard that David had been designated 1 king over Israel, they all 2 went up to search for David. When David heard about it, he went down to the fortress. |

| (1.00) | 2Sa 6:20 |
| When David went home to pronounce a blessing on his own house, 1 Michal, Saul’s daughter, came out to meet him. 2 She said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished 3 himself this day! He has exposed himself today before his servants’ slave girls the way a vulgar fool 4 might do!” |
| (1.00) | 2Sa 6:22 |
| I am willing to shame and humiliate myself even more than this! 1 But with the slave girls whom you mentioned let me be distinguished!” |

| That night the Lord told Nathan, 1 |
| (1.00) | 2Sa 7:5 |
| “Go, tell my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord says: Do you really intend to build a house for me to live in? |
| (1.00) | 2Sa 7:7 |
| Wherever I moved among all the Israelites, I did not say 1 to any of the leaders 2 whom I appointed to care for 3 my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house made from cedar?”’ |
| (1.00) | 2Sa 7:8 |
| “So now, say this to my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of hosts says: I took you from the pasture and from your work as a shepherd 1 to make you leader of my people Israel. |
