2 SAMUEL CHAPTER 3
The war between the house of David and the house of Saul. Six sons born to David in Hebron, 2Sa_3:1-5. Abner, displeased with Ish-bosheth, 2Sa_3:6-11, revolteth to David, who requireth of him that he bring with him Michal, which he does, and communes with the elders of Israel; is feasted by David and dismissed, 2Sa_3:12-21. Joab returning from battle is displeased with the king, and treacherously murdereth Abner, 2Sa_3:22-27. David curseth Joab, 2Sa_3:28-30. Mourneth over Abner, 2Sa_3:31-39.
Long war; for five years longer; for it is probable that Ish-bosheth was made king presently upon Saul’s death, to give them countenance for their rebellion against David; and the other tribes did not submit to David before seven years were expired.
