Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, which against Judah do show kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?

Abner Ps 76:10 Mr 6:18,19

Am I a dog's head This was a proverbial expression among the Hebrews to denote whatever was deemed worthless and contemptible. Something similar to this was the answer of the Turkish commander at Ber, on the Euphrates, to a request made to see the castle. `Do they,' said he, `take me for a child, or {an ass's head}, that they would feed me with sweet meats, and dupe me with a bit of cloth? No, they shall not see the castle.' 2Sa 9:8 16:9 De 23:18 1Sa 24:14,15 2Ki 8:13

so shew 2Sa 2:9,18 5:2 1Sa 15:23 Ps 2:1-4 Isa 37:23 Ac 9:4,5
