Barnes' Notes
This incidental testimony to Abner' s great eminence as a warrior is fully borne out by David' s dirge at Abner' s death II Samuel 3:31-34, II Samuel 3:38, as well as by his whole history. At the same time David' s bantering tone in regard to Abner, coupled with what he says in I Samuel 26:19, makes it proable that David attributed Saul' s persecution of him in some degree to Abner. Abner would be likely to dread a rival in the young conqueror of Judah (compare II Samuel 2:8).
