SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:32
Y caminaron toda aquella noche Joab y los suyos, y les amaneció en Hebrón.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. And they took up Asahel , etc.] From the place where he fell; that is, Joab and Abishai, his brethren, as Josephus relates; after they had buried the dead in the field of battle, they took up him: and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which [was in] Bethlehem : not in the city of Bethlehem, but without it, on the south side of it; so says Fuller f46 , “southward, i.e. of Bethlehem, we find Asahel’s sepulchre, who was buried in the grave of his father.” What was his father’s name is not known, only his mother’s name, Zeruiah, is mentioned in Scripture, a sister of David, and daughter of Jesse the Bethlehemite. Bethlehem was sixteen miles from Gibeon, according to Bunting f47 . And Joab and his men went all night ; not the night following the battle, but the night following the next day, after he had been to Bethlehem, and buried his brother there; wherefore, lest David should think it long before he came, he travelled all night: and they came to Hebron at break of day ; where David was, which, according to the same writer f48 , was twenty miles from Bethlehem.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 25-32 - Abner appeals to Joab concerning the miserable consequences of a civi war. Those who make light of such unnatural contests, will find tha they are bitterness to all concerned. How easy it is for men to us reason, when it makes for them, who would not use it, if it mad against them! See how the issue of things alter men's minds! The sam thing which looked pleasant in the morning, at night looked dismal Those who are most forward to enter into contention, will repent befor they have done with it, and had better leave it off before it be meddled with, as Solomon advises. This is true of every sin, oh tha men would consider it in time, that it will be bitterness in the latte end! Asahel's funeral is here mentioned. Distinctions are made betwee the dust of some and that of others; but in the resurrection n difference will be made, but between the godly and ungodly, which wil remain for ever __________________________________________________________________
