2 Samuel 3:11
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
And for fear of Abner, Ish-bosheth did not dare to say another word to him.
In context
9 May God punish Abner, and ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the LORD has sworn to him:
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
11 And for fear of Abner, Ish-bosheth did not dare to say another word to him.
12 Then Abner sent messengers in his place to say to David, “To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me, and surely my hand will be with you to bring all Israel over to you.”
13 “Good,” replied David, “I will make a covenant with you. But there is one thing I require of you: Do not appear before me unless you bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to see me.”
