This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_3:9 So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
Ver. 9. Except, as the Lord hath sworn to David.] What Abner did, then, hitherto for Ishbosheth, he did against his conscience: and now they fall out. Sinful leagues last not long; thieves falling out, true men come by their goods. But who ever heard Abner godly till now? Neither had he been so at this time, if he had not intended a revengeful departure from Ishbosheth. Nothing is more odious than to make religion a stalking horse to policy. If Abner be a means of doing David right, yet because he doth it with an ill mind, and out of self-respects, he loseth his reward with God.
