2 Samuel 3
Commentary
2 Samuel 3 is a chapter that focuses on the ongoing conflict between the house of Saul and the house of David. The chapter begins with a list of the sons of Saul, who had been killed by the Philistines in battle. This serves to remind the reader of the tragedy that had befallen the house of Saul and the consequences of their defeat. The chapter then moves on to the conflict between Abner, the commander of Saul's army, and Ish-bosheth, Saul's son and successor. Abner had been loyal to Saul and had been trying to establish Ish-bosheth as king, but Ish-bosheth was not able to gain the support of the people. Abner then switched sides and declared his loyalty to David, who had been anointed king by the prophet Samuel. The chapter ends with Abner's death at the hands of Joab, David's commander. This serves to illustrate the ongoing conflict between the two houses and the lengths to which David was willing to go to secure his throne. It also serves as a reminder of the consequences of loyalty to the wrong side. Overall, 2 Samuel 3 is a chapter that serves to illustrate the ongoing conflict between the house of Saul and the house of David. It also serves as a reminder of the consequences of loyalty to the wrong side and the lengths to which David was willing to go to secure his throne.
