Don’t spill my blood on the ground far away from where the Lord lives. King Saul, you have come out to look for nothing but a flea. It’s as if you were hunting a partridge in the mountains.”

He said to David,“ Why are you coming at me with sticks? Do you think I’m only a dog?” The Philistine cursed David in the name of his gods.

Mephibosheth bowed down to David. He said,“ Who am I? Why should you pay attention to me? I’m nothing but a dead dog.”

His wife Jezebel said,“ Is this how the king of Israel acts? Get up! Eat something! Cheer up. I’ll get you the vineyard of Naboth from Jezreel.”

Abner was very angry because of what Ish- Bosheth said. So Abner answered,“ Do you think I’m only a dog’s head? Am I on Judah’s side? To this day I’ve been faithful to the royal house of your father Saul. I’ve been faithful to his family and friends. I haven’t handed you over to David. But now you claim that I’ve sinned with this woman!

Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, spoke to the king. He said,“ King David, why should we let this dead dog curse you? Let me go over there. I’ll cut off his head.”

The men of Ephraim asked Gideon,“ Why have you treated us like this? Why didn’t you ask us to help you when you went out to fight against Midian?” In anger they challenged Gideon.But he answered them,“ What I’ve done isn’t anything compared to what you have done. Ephraim’s grapes have been gathered. Isn’t what is left over better than all the grapes that have been gathered from Abiezer’s vines?God handed Oreb and Zeeb over to you. They were Midianite leaders. So what was I able to do compared to what you did?” After Gideon had said that, they didn’t feel angry with him anymore.

David returned home to bless his family. Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. She said,“ You are the king of Israel. You have really brought honor to yourself today, haven’t you? You have gone around half- naked right in front of the female slaves of your officials. You acted like a fool!”
