So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;

Verse 9 is found in chapter 3 of 2 Samuel. Abner’s growing influence leads to a dispute with Ish-bosheth over Rizpah, one of Saul’s concubines. Although the accusation may have political implications concerning succession, Abner interprets the confrontation as a personal insult and decides to change his allegiance. The scene shows the fragility of Ish-bosheth’s government: his authority depends heavily on Abner, who possesses enough military and political power to determine Israel’s future.

Gott tue Abner dies und das, wenn ich nicht tue, wie der HERR dem David geschworen hat,
Así haga Dios a Abner y así le añada, si como ha jurado Jehová a David no hiciere yo así con él,
Que Dios castigue a Abner con toda severidad si no hago por David lo que Jehová le ha jurado:
Que Dieu traite Abner dans toute sa rigueur, si je n'agis pas avec David selon ce que l'Eternel a juré à David,
Così faccia Iddio ad Abner, e così gli aggiunga, se io non fo a Davide, secondo che il Signore gli ha giurato,
Assim faça Deus a Abner, e outro tanto, se, como o SENHOR jurou a Davi, assim eu não lhe fizer,
願上帝重重懲罰 押尼珥 !我要照著耶和華起誓應許 大衛 的話為他成就,
