10 en disant qu’il ferait passer la royauté de la maison de Saül dans la sienne, et qu’il établirait le trône de David sur Israël et sur Juda depuis Dan jusqu’à Beer-Schéba.
11 Isch-Boscheth n’osa pas répliquer un seul mot à Abner, parce qu’il le craignait.
12 Abner envoya des messagers à David pour lui dire de sa part: A qui est le pays? Fais alliance avec moi, et voici, ma main t’aidera pour tourner vers toi tout Israël.
13 Il répondit: Bien! Je ferai alliance avec toi; mais je te demande une chose, c’est que tu ne voies point ma face, à moins que tu n’amènes d’abord Mical, fille de Saül, en venant auprès de moi.
14 Et David envoya des messagers à Isch-Boscheth, fils de Saül, pour lui dire: Donne-moi ma femme Mical, que j’ai fiancée pour cent prépuces de Philistins.
