2 Samuel 3:36 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:36

And all the people took notice [of it]
Not only of his oath, that he would not eat food till evening, but of his whole conduct at the funeral of Abner; the sorrow he expressed for his death, and the oration he made on account of it, in which he pretty severely reflected on his murderer:

and it pleased them;
that he showed such a concern for his death, and that it was a clear case he had no hand in it:

as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people;
what he did at this time, burying Abhor with so much pomp and ceremony; and indeed he had so much the hearts of the people, and such a share in their affections, and they had such an high opinion of him, that all that he did in public and private affairs they reckoned well done; they were highly approved of by them, such an interest had he in them.

2 Samuel 3:36 In-Context

34 Tus manos no estaban atadas;
tus pies no estaban encadenados.
No, fuiste asesinado,
víctima de un complot perverso».
Entonces todo el pueblo lloró nuevamente por Abner.

35 David rehusó comer el día del funeral y todos le suplicaban que comiera. Pero David había hecho el siguiente juramento: «Que Dios me castigue y aun me mate si como algo antes de que se ponga el sol».

36 Esto agradó mucho a los israelitas. De hecho, todo lo que el rey hacía les agradaba.

37 Así que todos en Judá y en Israel comprendieron que David no era responsable de la muerte de Abner.

38 Después, el rey David les dijo a sus oficiales: «¿No se dan cuenta de que hoy un gran comandante ha caído en Israel?
