1 And long war will be between the house of Saul and between the house of David: and David went and was strengthened, and the house of Saul went and was weakened.

2 And sons will be born to David in Hebron: and his firstborn will be Amnon to Ahinoam the Jezreelitess.

3 And his second, Chileab, to Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur.

4 And the fourth, Adonijah, son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital.

5 And the sixth, Ithream, to Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.

6 And it will be in there being war between the house of Saul and between the house of David, and Abner was strong for the house of Saul.

7 And to Saul a concubine, and her name Rizpah, daughter of Aiah: and he will say to Abner, Wherefore wentest thou in to my father's concubine?
