2 Samuel 2:8-11

Ish‑bosheth Made King over Israel

8 Now ^aAbner the son of Ner, commander of Saul’s army, had taken ¹Ish-bosheth 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, and over Benjamin, even over all Israel. 10 Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was king for two years. The house of Judah, however, followed David. 11 ^aAnd the ¹time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
