11 And he could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
12 Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to David, saying, “Whose is the land?” saying also, “Make your covenant with me, and indeed my hand shall be with you to bring all Israel to you.”
13 And David said, “Good, I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you: ayou shall not see my face unless you first bring bMichal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.”
14 So David sent messengers to aIshbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself bfor a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
