before_o note_v but_o a_o promise_n of_o indemnity_n from_o he_o according_a to_o and_o in_o pursuance_n of_o the_o promise_n former_o make_v to_o abner_n who_o have_v before_o undertake_v and_o prevail_v to_o bring_v israel_n and_o benjamin_n to_o he_o 19_o so_o that_o after_o abners_n death_n and_o their_o king_n it_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n they_o shall_v come_v to_o david_n for_o

therefore_o this_o covenant_n can_v not_o imply_v equal_a stipulation_n or_o resignation_n of_o any_o royal_a power_n because_o then_o judah_n have_v more_o reason_n to_o have_v press_v it_o as_o
