2 Samuel 3:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:6

And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of
Saul and the house of David
As long as that continued, as it did until the following quarrel happened between Ishbosheth and Abner:

or was strongly in the interest of that house, and used his utmost endeavours to support and confirm it.

2 Samuel 3:6 In-Context

4 And the fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital;

5 And the sixth, Ithream, whose mother was David's wife Eglah. These were the sons of David, whose birth took place in Hebron.

6 Now while there was war between Saul's people and David's people, Abner was making himself strong among the supporters of Saul.

7 Now Saul had among his wives a woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Why have you taken my father's wife?

8 And Abner was very angry at the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said, Am I a dog's head of Judah? I am this day doing all in my power for the cause of your father Saul and for his brothers and his friends, and have not given you up into the hands of David, and now you say I have done wrong with a woman.
