2 Samuel 3:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:7

And Saul had a concubine, whose name [was] Rizpah, the daughter
of Aiah
By whom he had two sons, ( 2 Samuel 21:8 ) . Josephus ^F1 calls her father's name Sibathus:

and [Ishbosheth] said to Abner;
though the word "Ishbosheth" is not in the text, it is rightly supplied; for no other can be supposed to speak:

wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
and defiled her; though perhaps it was not so much the act of uncleanness that so much offended him, or the dishonour reflected on him and his family thereby, as it discovered an ambitious view in Abner to get the kingdom into his own hands, to which this was the leading step; see ( 1 Kings 2:22 ) . Whether Abner was really guilty of this sin or no is not easy to determine; though, by his not absolutely denying it, it looks as if it was not merely a jealousy of Ishbosheth, or a false report made unto him; though, especially if he was not fully satisfied of it, it would have been his wisdom to have said nothing of it to him, since his continuance on the throne so much depended on him.

2 Samuel 3:7 In-Context

5 el sexto, Itreán hijo de Eglá, que era otra esposa de David.Estos son los hijos que le nacieron a David mientras estuvo en Hebrón.

6 Durante la guerra entre las familias de Saúl y David, Abner fue consolidando su posición en el reino de Saúl,

7 aunque Isboset le reclamó a Abner el haberse acostado con Rizpa hija de Ayá, que había sido concubina de Saúl.

8 A Abner le molestó mucho el reclamo, así que replicó:—¿Acaso soy un perro de Judá? Hasta el día de hoy me he mantenido fiel a la familia de tu padre Saúl, incluso a sus parientes y amigos, y conste que no te he entregado en manos de David. ¡Y ahora me sales con que he cometido una falta con esa mujer!

9 Que Dios me castigue sin piedad si ahora yo no procedo con David conforme a lo que el SEÑOR le juró:
