Dette gjorde Abner meget sint, og han sa: «Er jeg et hundehode fra Juda? I dag har jeg vist troskap mot din fars hus, Sauls hus, mot hans brødre og venner, og ikke overgitt deg i Davids hånd – og likevel anklager du meg for denne kvinnens skyld?
And it is displeasing to Abner exceedingly, because of the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he saith, `The head of a dog `am' I -- that in reference to Judah to-day I do kindness with the house of Saul thy father, unto his brethren, and unto his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David -- that thou chargest against me iniquity concerning the woman to-day?
