Abner was very angry because of what Ish Bosheth said. Abner said, “I have been loyal to Saul and his family. I did not give you to David—{I did not let him defeat you}. I am not a traitor working for Judah. [17] But now you are saying that I did this bad thing.
Now don’t make me die far away from the Lord’s presence. The king of Israel has come out looking for a flea. You are like a man hunting partridges in the mountains!” [204]
