[2:8] The commander of Saul's army, Abner son of Ner, had fled with Saul's son Ishbosheth across the Jordan to Mahanaim.
[2:9] There Abner made Ishbosheth king of the territories of Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin, and indeed over all Israel.
[2:10] He was forty years old when he was made king of Israel, and he ruled for two years. But the tribe of Judah was loyal to David,
[2:11] and he ruled in Hebron over Judah for seven and a half years.
