50 The name of Saul’s wife was A·hinʹo·am the daughter of A·himʹa·az. The name of the chief of his army was Abʹner+ the son of Ner, the uncle of Saul.

55 At the moment that Saul saw David go out to meet the Phi·lisʹtine, he said to Abʹner,+ the chief of the army: “Whose son is this boy,+ Abʹner?” Abʹner replied: “As surely as you live,* O king, I do not know!”

8 But Abʹner+ the son of Ner, the chief of Saul’s army, had taken Saul’s son Ish-boʹsheth+ and brought him across to Ma·ha·naʹim+

8 Abʹner grew very angry over the words of Ish-boʹsheth and said: “Am I a dog’s head from Judah? Until this very day, I have shown loyal love toward the house of your father Saul and to his brothers and his friends, and I have not betrayed you into the hand of David; yet today you call me to account for an error concerning a woman.
