6. `And, now, Jehovah doth with you kindness and truth, and also, I do with you this good because ye have done this thing;
7. and now, are your hands strong, and be ye for sons of valour, for your lord Saul. [is] dead, and also--me have the house of Judah anointed for king over them.'
8. And Abner, son of Ner, head of the host which Saul hath, hath taken Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, and causeth him to pass over to Mahanaim,
9. and causeth him to reign over Gilead, and over the Ashurite, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over Israel--all of it.
