2 Samuel 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:11

And he could not answer Abner a word again
That is, he would not, he durst not; otherwise, if it was fact he charged him with, he could have insisted on the truth of it, and aggravated the crime and scandal of it; and observed it to him, that the kindness he had shown him was no excuse for it; but such things, though he would, he durst not say:

because he feared him;
he had the army at his command, and could dethrone him when he pleased; and it has been the fate of greater men than Ishbosheth to be awed by their generals, and even David himself; see ( 2 Samuel 3:39 ) .

2 Samuel 3:11 In-Context

9 Assim faça Deus a Abner, e outro tanto, se, como o Senhor jurou a Davi, assim eu não lhe fizer,
10 transferindo o reino da casa de Saul, e estabelecendo o trono de Davi sobre Israel, e sobre Judá, desde Dã até Berseba.
11 E Isbosete não pôde responder a Abner mais uma palavra, porque o temia.
12 Então enviou Abner da sua parte mensageiros a Davi, dizendo: De quem é a terra? Comigo faze a tua aliança, e eis que a minha mão será contigo, para fazer tornar a ti todo o Israel.
13 Respondeu Davi: Está bem; farei aliança contigo; mas uma coisa te exijo; não verás a minha face, se primeiro não me trouxeres Mical, filha de Saul, quando vieres ver a minha face.
