2 Samuel 3:30 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:30

So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner
For though it was only Joab that gave him the thrust of which he died, Abishai was in the secret, and was consenting and advising to his death, and so an accessory to it; and might be present, ready to assist in it, if occasion required; and so Josephus ^F11 expressly says, that Abishai his brother was with him when he drew his sword, and smote him:

because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle:
which was no just reason at all; his blood was shed in war, this in peace, in cold blood, and under the guise of friendship; that was shed with reluctance, and after fair warning, and in defence of himself; but this wilfully in Joab, unawares to Abner, and in great deceit and hypocrisy; see ( 1 Kings 2:5 ) .

2 Samuel 3:30 In-Context

28 Cuando David se enteró, declaró: «Juro por el Señor
que yo y mi reino somos inocentes para siempre de este crimen cometido contra Abner, hijo de Ner.

29 Joab y su familia son los culpables. ¡Que la familia de Joab sea maldita! Que nunca falte un hombre de cada generación que padezca de llagas o de lepra,
o que camine con muletas,
o que muera a espada o que mendigue comida».

30 Joab y su hermano Abisai mataron a Abner, porque este había matado a su hermano Asael en la batalla de Gabaón.

31 David lamenta la muerte de Abner
Entonces David les dijo a Joab y a todos los que estaban con él: «Rásguense la ropa, pónganse tela áspera y hagan duelo por Abner». El rey David en persona caminó detrás del cortejo fúnebre hasta la tumba.

32 Así que enterraron a Abner en Hebrón, y el rey y todo el pueblo lloraron junto a la tumba.
