SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:13
Y Joab hijo de Sarvia, y los criados de David, salieron y los encontraron junto al estanque de Gabaón; y cuando se juntaron, se pararon los unos a un lado del estanque, y los otros al otro.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And Joab the son of Zeruiah , etc.] A sister of David, and this her son was general of David’s army: and the servants of David, went out ; that is, his army went out from Hebron to Gibeon, which was twenty four miles to meet that under Abner; for though he had but one tribe with him, and Ishbosheth had all the rest, yet Judah was a numerous, powerful, and warlike tribe; and besides many out of the other tribes had joined them, and, above all, God was on their side, and they had his promise to rely upon with respect to the establishment of the kingdom in the house of David, and his power and providence to trust in, and therefore went out boldly and cheerfully to meet the armies of Israel under Abner: and met together by the pool of Gibeon ; the same perhaps with the great waters in Gibeon, ( Jeremiah 41:12); and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool ; facing one another, and watching each other’s motions.
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.
