Verse 11 is found in chapter 2 of 2 Samuel. Abner establishes Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, as king over much of Israel while Judah follows David. The kingdom is divided and the transition to monarchy continues for years. The narrative contrasts David’s anointing with the political installation of Ish-bosheth at Abner’s initiative. Political legitimacy and divine will appear as related but not identical dimensions, while the conflict between the houses of Saul and David begins to intensify.
