2 Samuele 3:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:19

And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin
Of the inhabitants of the tribe of Benjamin, of which tribe he was, and among whom he had the greatest influence; and with whom it was necessary to take some pains, because of their attachment to the family of Saul, which was of that tribe; and being near to that of Judah, might give David a good deal of trouble, if they were not won over to him:

and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron;
having sounded the elders of Israel, and won their thoughts about the change of government, and found them well disposed to David, and had prevailed upon them to consent to make him king, and had gained the tribe of Benjamin on his side, went and reported to David the success he had:

all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house
of Benjamin;
how agreeable it was to the elders of Israel, and particularly to the tribe of Benjamin, to have David king over them.

2 Samuele 3:19 In-Context

17 Or Abner tenne ragionamento con gli Anziani d’Israele, dicendo: Per addietro voi avete procacciato che Davide fosse re sopra voi;

18 ora dunque, fate, perciocchè il Signore ha parlato intorno a Davide, dicendo: Per la mano di Davide, mio servitore, io salverò il mio popolo Israele dalla mano de’ Filistei, e dalla mano di tutti i loro nemici.

19 Abner parlò eziandio co’ Beniaminiti. Poi andò ancora in Hebron, per fare intendere a Davide tutto ciò che parea buono ad Israele, ed a tutta la casa di Beniamino.

20 Abner adunque venne a Davide in Hebron, avendo seco venti uomini. E Davide fece un convito ad Abner, e agli uomini che erano con lui.

21 Poi Abner disse a Davide: Io mi leverò, ed andrò, e raunerò tutto Israele appresso al re, mio signore, acciocchè patteggino teco, e che tu regni interamente a tua volontà. E Davide diede commiato ad Abner; ed egli se ne andò in pace.
