SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:22
¶ Y he aquí los siervos de David y Joab, que venían del campo, y traían consigo gran presa. Mas Abner ya no estaba con David en Hebrón, que ya lo había él despedido, y él se había ido en paz.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from [pursuing] a troop , etc.] A troop of robbers, that made an incursion into the land, taking the advantage of a civil war between Israel and Judah; such as the Edomites, Amalekites, and especially the Philistines; which Joab hearing of went out in pursuit of them, and overtook them: and brought in a great spoil with them ; which they took from them: but Abner [was] not with David in Hebron : when Joab and his army entered the city with their booty: for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace ; he had just dismissed him, and he was gone off safely.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-39 - Judgments are prepared for such scorners as Abner; but Joab, in what he did, acted wickedly. David laid Abner's murder deeply to heart, and in many ways expressed his detestation of it. The guilt of blood brings curse upon families: if men do not avenge it, God will. It is a sad thing to die like a fool, as they do that any way shorten their ow days, and those who make no provision for another world. Who would be fond of power, when a man may have the name of it, and must be accountable for it, yet is hampered in the use of it? David ought to have done his duty, and then trusted God with the issue. Carnal polic spared Joab. The Son of David may long delay, but never fails to punis impenitent sinners. He who now reigns upon the throne of David, has kingdom of a nobler kind. Whatever He doeth, is noticed by all his willing people, and is pleasing to them __________________________________________________________________
