During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul.
In context
4 his fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith; his fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
5 and his sixth was Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These sons were born to David in Hebron.
6 During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul.
7 Meanwhile, Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ish-bosheth questioned Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”
8 Abner was furious over Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!
