Ish-bosheth was unable to answer Abner with even a single word because he was afraid of him.
Then Abner sent messengers to David saying,“To whom does the land belong? Make an agreement with me, and I will do whatever I can to cause all Israel to turn to you.”
So David said,“Good! I will make an agreement with you. I ask only one thing from you. You will not see my face unless you bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to visit me.”
David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth son of Saul with this demand:“Give me my wife Michal whom I acquired for a hundred Philistine foreskins.”
So Ish-bosheth took her from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.
Her husband went along behind her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Finally Abner said to him,“Go back!” So he returned home.
