This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_5:5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
Ver. 5. Seven years and six months.] These last six months are not reckoned in the whole sum for the roundness of the number: or, as some Rabbis {a} will have it, because six months David lay sick in Hebron: or, six months he fled before Absalom; and so there is no count made of them.
{a} Jerome in Tradit.
