During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul.
2 Samuel 3:6 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Samuel 3.
2 And sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam of Jezreel;
3 his second was Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; his third was Absalom, the son of Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur;
4 his fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith; his fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
5 and his sixth was Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These sons were born to David in Hebron.
6 During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul.
7 Meanwhile, Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ish-bosheth questioned Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”
8 Abner was furious over Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!
9 May God punish Abner, and ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the LORD has sworn to him:
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
