2 Samuel 2:1-7

Listen to 2 Samuel 2:1-7

David es ungido rey de Judá

1 Pasado algún tiempo, David consultó al SEÑOR:—¿Debo ir a alguna de las ciudades de Judá?—Sí, debes ir —le respondió el SEÑOR.—¿Y a qué ciudad quieres que vaya?—A Hebrón.
2 Así que David fue allá con sus dos esposas, Ajinoán la jezrelita y Abigaíl, la viuda de Nabal de Carmel.
3 Se llevó además a sus hombres, cada cual acompañado de su familia, y todos se establecieron en Hebrón y sus aldeas.
4 Entonces los habitantes de Judá fueron a Hebrón, y allí ungieron a David como rey de su tribu. Además, le comunicaron que los habitantes de Jabés de Galaad habían sepultado a Saúl.
5 Entonces David envió a los de Jabés el siguiente mensaje: «Que el SEÑOR los bendiga por haberle sido fieles a su señor Saúl, y por darle sepultura.
6 Y ahora, que el SEÑOR les muestre a ustedes su amor y fidelidad, aunque yo también quiero recompensarlos por esto que han hecho.
7 Cobren ánimo y sean valientes, pues aunque su señor Saúl ha muerto, la tribu de Judá me ha ungido como su rey».

2 Samuel 2:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND SAMUEL 2

This chapter relates that David, upon inquiring of the Lord, was directed to go up to Hebron, and did, where he was anointed king of Judah, 2Sa 2:1-4. And that being told of the kindness of the men of Jabeshgilead in burying Saul, he sent them thanks, and promised to remember it, and took the opportunity to let them know he was anointed king over Judah, 2Sa 2:5-7. It also relates that Abner set up Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, to be king over Israel, 2Sa 2:8-11; and that there was an encounter between twelve of Abner's men and twelve of David's, which brought on a sore battle between them, in which Abner was beaten, 2Sa 2:12-17; and Asahel, who was of David's party, was slain in the pursuit by Abner, 2Sa 2:18-25; when a retreat was sounded by Joab, at the influence of Abner, who, with his wen, betook themselves to Mahanaim, where he had left Ishbosheth, 2Sa 2:26-29. And the chapter closes with an account of the slain on both sides, the burial of Asahel, and the return of Joab with David's men to Hebron, 2Sa 2:30-32.
