# Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah? # Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah?
This question is used by Abner as an angry denial of Ish-Bosheth's accusation. It can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "I am not a traitor working for David!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]]) "Am I a traitor for Judah?" or "I am not a traitor working for David!" )
# Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah?
Abner speaks of himself as the head of a dog, which the Israelites considered to be loyal to anyone who fed them. Here "belongs to Judah" implies that Abner's loyalty is to Judah, to which David belonged, and not to Saul's house. Alternate translation: "Am I a traitor for Judah?" or "I am not a traitor working for David!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
# into the hand of David # into the hand of David
Here "hand" represents the power to defeat. Alternate translation: "to be defeated by David" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]]) "to be defeated by David"
# But now you accuse me of iniquity concerning this woman? # But now you accuse me of iniquity concerning this woman?
Abner asks this question to rebuke Ishbosheth. It is unclear if Abner actually slept with Rizpah, or if he was falsely accused, but it appears that he is denying that he is guilty. Alternate translation: "You should not think that I have slept with this woman!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]]) "You should not think that I have slept with this woman!"
