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 Así haga Dios a Abner, y aún más, si lo que el SEÑOR ha jurado a David no lo obtengo para él:
10 transferir el reino de la casa de Saúl y establecer el trono de David sobre Israel y sobre Judá desde Dan hasta Beerseba.
11 Y él ya no pudo responder a Abner ni una palabra, porque le temía.
12 Entonces Abner envió mensajeros a David de su parte, diciendo: ¿De quién es la tierra? Y que dijeran también: Haz tu pacto conmigo, y he aquí, mi mano será contigo para traer a ti a todo Israel.
13 Y él respondió: Muy bien. Haré pacto contigo, pero una cosa demando de ti: No verás mi rostro a menos de que cuando vengas a verme traigas a Mical, la hija de Saúl.
