6 And now may athe Lord show kindness and truth to you. I also will repay you this kindness, because you have done this thing.

Ishbosheth Made King of Israel

8 But aAbner the son of Ner, commander of Saul’s army, took1 Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to bMahanaim;  
9 and he made him king over aGilead, over the bAshurites, over cJezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.  
10 Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. Only the house of Judah followed David.

2 Samuel 2:8

Abner the son of Ner - This man had long been one of the chief captains of Saul' s army, and commander-in-chief on several occasions; he was probably envious of David' s power, by whom he had often been out-generalled in the field.
