2 Samuel 2:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 2:25

And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together
after Abner
Either those that were with him before, who upon the battle were dispersed, but now got together again; or others of that tribe, who, hearing of the defeat of Abner, went out of the several cities after him, to strengthen his hands, and renew the fight with Joab:

and became one troop;
were united together in a body, and became a regular troop:

and stood on the top of an hill;
which was some advantage to them, and from whence they could take a view of Joab's army, and observe its motions.

2 Samuel 2:25 In-Context

23 qui audire contempsit et noluit declinare percussit ergo eum Abner aversa hasta in inguine et transfodit et mortuus est in eodem loco omnesque qui transiebant per locum in quo ceciderat Asahel et mortuus erat subsistebant

24 persequentibus autem Ioab et Abisai fugientem Abner sol occubuit et venerunt usque ad collem Aquaeductus qui est ex adverso vallis et itineris deserti in Gabaon

25 congregatique sunt filii Beniamin ad Abner et conglobati in unum cuneum steterunt in summitate tumuli unius

26 et exclamavit Abner ad Ioab et ait num usque ad internicionem tuus mucro desaeviet an ignoras quod periculosa sit desperatio usquequo non dicis populo ut omittat persequi fratres suos

27 et ait Ioab vivit Dominus si locutus fuisses mane recessisset populus persequens fratrem suum
