2 SAMUEL 2:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.”
Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he became king — The notation of age suggests maturity, yet context reveals he is merely Abner's puppet. His reign lasted two years—a brief, fragile tenure entirely dependent on military support. The tribes listed represent the northern and eastern tribes under Abner's control.
