4 El cuarto, Adonías hijo de Haggith; el quinto, Saphatías hijo de Abital;

5 El sexto, Jetream, de Egla mujer de David. Estos nacieron á David en Hebrón.

6 Y como había guerra entre la casa de Saúl y la de David, aconteció que Abner se esforzaba por la casa de Saúl.

7 Y había Saúl tenido una concubina que se llamaba Rispa, hija de Aja. Y dijo [Is-boseth] á Abner: ¿Por qué has entrado á la concubina de mi padre?
