12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.
13 And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
14 And David sent messengers to Ish–bo´sheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
15 And Ish–bo´sheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phal´ti-el the son of La´ish.
16 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahu´rim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
