⁸ Now Abner the son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, had taken Ish-bo'sheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahana'im; ⁹ and he made him king over Gilead and the Ash'urites and Jezreel and E'phraim and Benjamin and all Israel. ¹⁰ Ish-bo'sheth, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David. ¹¹ And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
