Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

(1 David by Gods direction, with his company goeth/goes up to Hebron, where he is made King of Yudah. 5 He commendeth them of Yabesh Gilead, for their kindness to Saul. 8 Abner maketh Ishbosheth king of Israel. 12 A mortall skirmish between twelve of Abners, and twelve of Yoabs men. 18 Asahel is slaine. 25 At Abners motion Yoab soundth a retreat. 32 Asahels burial.)
This chapter begins the story of the civil war between Saul’s son and David.
There was a civil war in Israel. David was made king of Judah and Saul’s uncle (Abner) made Saul’s son (Ishbosheth) king of the rest of Israel. When they fought each other, Abner killed Joab’s brother, but David’s army was victorious.
Abner finally stopped the battle with a rhetorical question to David’s army. “Must the sword devour forever?” (See: figs-rquestion)
