Then Abner was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to your father Saul’s house, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman!

ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૩:૮
આબ્નેર ઈશ-બોશેથના શબ્દોથી ખૂબ ગુસ્સે થયો અને કહ્યું, “શું હું યહૂદાના કૂતરાનું માથું છું? મેં આજે તારા પિતા શાઉલના લોક પર, તેના ભાઈઓ પર, તથા તેના મિત્રો પર સહાનુભૂતિ દર્શાવીને તને દાઉદના હાથમાં સોંપી દીધો નથી. તેમ છતાં આજે આ સ્ત્રી વિષે તું મારા ઉપર આરોપ મૂકે છે?
हिन्दी2 शमूएल ३:८
ईशबोशेत की बातों के कारण अब्नेर अति क्रोधित होकर कहने लगा, “क्या मैं यहूदा के कुत्ते का सिर हूँ? आज तक मैं तेरे पिता शाऊल के घराने और उसके भाइयों और मित्रों को प्रीति दिखाता आया हूँ, और तुझे दाऊद के हाथ पड़ने नहीं दिया; फिर तू अब मुझ पर उस स्त्री के विषय में दोष लगाता है?

In context

6While there was war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house.

7Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?”

8Then Abner was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to your father Saul’s house, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman!

9God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I don’t do even so to him:

10to transfer the kingdom from Saul’s house, and to set up David’s throne over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.”
