2 Samuele 3:32 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:32

And they buried Abner in Hebron
According to the Jewish account of places of burial ^F19, he was buried in the midst of the city, though burying places were generally without; and so Fuller ^F20 places this in his map; whether the cave of Machpelah, which was near Hebron, was now used for a burying place, is not certain:

and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner;
made a great outcry, a loud lamentation, so as to be heard by all the people; and which no doubt was real and hearty, and not done merely with political views:

and all the people wept;
through concern for the death of Abner, especially on account of the manner in which it was, and in imitation of the king, and being affected with his tears and cries.

2 Samuele 3:32 In-Context

30 Così Joab ed Abishai, suo fratello, uccisero Abner, perché questi aveva ucciso Asael loro fratello, a Gabaon, in battaglia.

31 Davide disse a Joab e a tutto il popolo ch’era con lui: "Stracciatevi le vesti, cingetevi di sacco, e fate cordoglio per la morte di Abner!" E il re Davide andò dietro alla bara.

32 Abner fu seppellito a Hebron, e il re alzò la voce e pianse sulla tomba di Abner; e pianse tutto il popolo.

33 E il re fece un canto funebre su Abner, e disse: "Doveva Abner morire come muore uno stolto?

34 Le tue mani non eran legate, né i tuoi piedi erano stretti nei ceppi! Sei caduto come si cade per mano di scellerati".
