Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Yisrael, and reigned two years. But the house of Yhudah followed David.
But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
And made him king over Gilad, and over the Ashurites, and over Yizreel, and over Efrayim, and over Binyamin, and over all Yisrael.
And the time that David was king in Hevron over the house of Yhudah was seven years and six months.
And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Mikhal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Plishtim.
