SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:8

Y trajeron la cabeza de Is-boset a David en Hebrón, y dijeron al rey: He aquí la cabeza de Is-boset hijo de Saúl tu enemigo, que procuraba matarte; y el SEÑOR ha vengado hoy a mi señor el rey, de Saúl y de su simiente.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 4:8

Verse 8. They brought the head-unto David] They thought, as did the poor lying Amalekite, to ingratiate themselves with David by this abominable act.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

These men shed innocent blood, from the basest motives. David justly executed vengeance upon them. He would no be beholden to any to help him by unlawful practices. God had helpe him over many a difficulty, and through many a danger, therefore he depended upon him to crown and complete his own work. He speaks of his redemption from all adversity, as a thing done; though he had man storms yet before him, he knew that He who had delivered, woul deliver __________________________________________________________________
