2 Samuel 2:9-10

over Gilead—used in a loose sense for the land beyond Jordan.

Ashurites—the tribe of Asher in the extreme north.

Jezreel—the extensive valley bordering on the central tribes.

over all Israel . . . But Judah—David neither could nor would force matters. He was content to wait God's time and studiously avoided any collision with the rival king, till, at the lapse of two years, hostilities were threatened from that quarter.



2 Samuel 2:8-17

ABNER MAKES ISH-BOSHETH KING OVER ISRAEL. (II Samuel 2:8-17)

Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host took Ish-bosheth—Here was the establishment of a rival kingdom, which, however, would probably have had no existence but for Abner.

Ish-bosheth—or "Esh-baal" (I Chronicles 8:33; I Chronicles 9:39). The Hebrews usually changed names ending with Baal into Bosheth ("shame") (compare Judges 9:53 with II Samuel 11:21). This prince was so called from his imbecility.

Abner—was first cousin of Saul, commander of the forces, and held in high respect throughout the country. Loyalty to the house of his late master was mixed up with opposition to David and views of personal ambition in his originating this factious movement. He, too, was alive to the importance of securing the eastern tribes; so, taking Ish-bosheth across the Jordan, he proclaimed him king at Mahanaim, a town on the north bank of the Jabbok, hallowed in patriarchal times by the divine presence (Genesis 32:2). There he rallied the tribes around the standard of the unfortunate son of Saul.
