SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:12
Y Abner hijo de Ner salió del real a Gabaón con los siervos de Is-boset hijo de Saúl.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And Abner the son of Ner , etc.] Who was before captain of Saul’s host, and now of Ishbosheth’s: and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul ; who seem to be not only his domestic servants, that waited upon him, or his courtiers, but his whole army by what follows: went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon ; came from the city on the other side Jordan, where perhaps they had been two years past, concerting schemes to bring all Israel under the government of Ishbosheth; in which they had succeeded, only Judah stood out with David; and in order to reduce that tribe, they passed over Jordan and came to Gibeon, a city in Benjamin. (see Joshua 18:25).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-17 - The nation in general refused David. By this the Lord trained up his servant for future honour and usefulness; and the tendency of tru godliness was shown in his behaviour while passing through variou difficulties. David was herein a type of Christ, whom Israel would no submit to, though anointed of the Father to be a Prince and a Saviou to them. Abner meant, Let the young men fight before us, when he said Let them play before us: fools thus make a mock at sin. But he is unworthy the name of a man, that can thus trifle with human blood.
