2 Samuel 3:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:24

Then Joab came to the king
To the apartment where he was; perhaps he was told the above at his first entering into the king's palace, by some in waiting, before he came to the king, which filled him with wrath, so that he came to him in a passion:

and said to him, what hast thou done?
which was very insolent in a subject to say to his prince:

behold, Abner came unto thee;
I have been credibly informed of it, and am assured it is a fact which cannot be denied; he represents it as if he had done a wrong thing to admit him to come to him; but perhaps the great fault was that he had let him go:

why [is] it [that] thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?
or "going, [is] gone" ^F5; is clean gone off, when he ought to have been laid hold on as a traitor, and put in irons.

2 Samuel 3:24 In-Context

22 Joab asesina a Abner
Pero justo después que David despidió a Abner en paz, Joab y algunas de las tropas de David regresaron de una incursión y traían un gran botín.

23 Cuando Joab llegó, le dijeron que Abner acababa de visitar al rey y que David lo había enviado en paz.

24 Entonces Joab fue de prisa a ver al rey y le preguntó: «¿Qué ha hecho usted? ¿Qué pretende al dejar ir a Abner?

25 ¡Sabe perfectamente bien que vino para espiarlo y averiguar todo lo que está haciendo!».

26 Con eso Joab dejó a David y envió mensajeros para que alcanzaran a Abner y le pidieran que regresara. Ellos lo encontraron junto al pozo de Sira y lo trajeron de regreso, sin que David supiera nada.
