2 Samuel 3:27 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 3:27

25 Surely you realize that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you, to know ^ayour going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.”

26 And when Joab had gone from David’s presence, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah. But David did not know it.

27 Now when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab ^atook him aside in the gate to speak with him privately, and there¹ stabbed him ^bin the stomach, so that he died for the blood of ^cAsahel his brother.

28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “My kingdom and I are¹ guiltless before the Lord forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.

29 ^aLet it rest on the head of Joab and on all his father’s house; and let there never fail to be in the¹ house of Joab one ^bwho has a discharge or is a leper, who leans on a staff or falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”

30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother ^aAsahel at Gibeon in the battle.

David’s Mourning for Abner

31 Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, ^a“Tear your clothes, ^bgird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn for Abner.” And King David followed the coffin.

32 So they buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.
