2 Samuel 3:32 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:32

And they buried Abner in Hebron
According to the Jewish account of places of burial F19, he was buried in the midst of the city, though burying places were generally without; and so Fuller F20 places this in his map; whether the cave of Machpelah, which was near Hebron, was now used for a burying place, is not certain:

and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner;
made a great outcry, a loud lamentation, so as to be heard by all the people; and which no doubt was real and hearty, and not done merely with political views:

and all the people wept;
through concern for the death of Abner, especially on account of the manner in which it was, and in imitation of the king, and being affected with his tears and cries.

2 Samuel 3:32 In-Context

30 As铆 pues, Joab y su hermano Abisai mataron a Abner porque 茅l hab铆a dado muerte a Asael, hermano de ellos, en la batalla de Gaba贸n.
31 Entonces David dijo a Joab y a todo el pueblo que estaba con 茅l: Rasgad vuestros vestidos, y ce帽铆os de cilicio, y haced duelo delante de Abner. Y el rey David iba detr谩s del f茅retro.
32 Sepultaron, pues, a Abner en Hebr贸n; y el rey alz贸 su voz y llor贸 junto al sepulcro de Abner, y llor贸 tambi茅n todo el pueblo.
33 Y enton贸 el rey una eleg铆a por Abner, y dijo: 驴Hab铆a de morir Abner como muere un insensato?
34 Tus manos no estaban atadas, ni tus pies puestos en grillos; como el que cae delante de los malvados, has ca铆do. Y todo el pueblo volvi贸 a llorar por 茅l.
