2 Samuel 3:25

25 Conheces Abner, filho de Ner; ele veio para enganar-te, observar os teus movimentos e descobrir tudo o que estás fazendo”.

2 Samuel 3:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:25

Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner
Thou canst not be ignorant what a cunning deceitful man he is, nor of his designs; or dost thou not know? art thou ignorant? so read the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, with an interrogation:

that he came to deceive thee:
with false hopes, or to lead into wrong measures with an intention to involve and ruin him:

and to know thy going out, and coming in;
the affairs of his court, the secrets of his government, to observe his conduct and behaviour, and all his actions, and improve them against him:

and to know all that thou doest;
he suggests that he came not as a friend, but as a spy, and therefore ought to have been taken up, and detained, and not dismissed. This Joab said to set David against him, fearing, if he should be received into favour, he would be a rival of his; and besides his breast was full of revenge against him for the death of his brother.

2 Samuel 3:25 In-Context

23 Quando Joabe chegou com todo o seu exército, contaram-lhe que Abner, filho de Ner, se apresentara ao rei, que o tinha deixado ir em paz.

24 Então Joabe foi falar com o rei e lhe disse: “Que foi que fizeste? Abner veio à tua presença e o deixaste ir?

25 Conheces Abner, filho de Ner; ele veio para enganar-te, observar os teus movimentos e descobrir tudo o que estás fazendo”.

26 Saindo da presença de Davi, Joabe enviou mensageiros atrás de Abner, e eles o trouxeram de volta, desde a cisterna de Sirá. Mas Davi não ficou sabendo disso.

27 Quando Abner retornou a Hebrom, Joabe o chamou à parte, na porta da cidade, sob o pretexto de falar-lhe em particular, e ali mesmo o feriu no estômago. E Abner morreu por ter derramado o sangue de Asael, irmão de Joabe.
