TSK · 2 Samuel 9:8

Who has the king of Israel come out after? Who is it that you are pursuing? A dead dog? A single flea?

These words of Ish-bosheth really angered Abner and he said,“Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah? This very day I am demonstrating loyalty to the house of Saul your father and to his relatives and his friends! I have not betrayed you into the hand of David. Yet you have accused me of sinning with this woman today!

“It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs,” he said.
