2 Samuel 3:31-39

Listen to 2 Samuel 3:31-39
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.
33 Luego el rey cantó este canto fúnebre por Abner:
«¿Acaso tenía que morir Abner como mueren los necios?
34 Tus manos no estaban atadas;
tus pies no estaban encadenados.
No, fuiste asesinado,
víctima de un complot perverso».
Entonces todo el pueblo lloró nuevamente por Abner.
35 David rehusó comer el día del funeral y todos le suplicaban que comiera. Pero David había hecho el siguiente juramento: «Que Dios me castigue y aun me mate si como algo antes de que se ponga el sol».
36 Esto agradó mucho a los israelitas. De hecho, todo lo que el rey hacía les agradaba.
37 Así que todos en Judá y en Israel comprendieron que David no era responsable de la muerte de Abner.
38 Después, el rey David les dijo a sus oficiales: «¿No se dan cuenta de que hoy un gran comandante ha caído en Israel?
39 Y aunque soy el rey ungido, estos dos hijos de Sarvia, Joab y Abisai, son demasiado fuertes para que yo los controle. Por eso, que el Señor
les dé a estos hombres malignos su paga por sus malas acciones».

2 Samuel 3:31-39 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND SAMUEL 3

This chapter begins with the continuation of the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, 2Sa 3:1; and gives an account of the wives of David, and his sons by them, 2Sa 3:2-5; of a quarrel between Ishbosheth and Abner, 2Sa 3:6-11; and of Abner's proposal to make a league with David; but David would not see his face unless Michal his wife was returned to him, who was accordingly, 2Sa 3:12-16; and of the interest Abner made with the elders of Israel in favour of David, which he reported to him, and promised to make more, 2Sa 3:17-21; but Joab returning from a pursuit, and with great spoil, just as Abner departed, and hearing of it, chided David for letting him go, and privately sent for him back, and treacherously murdered him, 2Sa 3:22-27; from which murder David cleared himself and his kingdom, and for it made dreadful imprecations on Joab and his family, 2Sa 3:28-30; and buried Abner with great lamentation, expressing much concern for his death, and the high opinion he had of him, 2Sa 3:31-39.
