2 Samuel 3:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:17

And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel
Had a conference with the chiefs of the several tribes about the affairs of the kingdom:

saying, ye sought for David in time past [to be] king over you;
that is, at the death of Saul, and not before; for it was pretty generally known throughout the kingdom that David was anointed by Samuel and Saul himself had declared that he knew the kingdom would come to him; so that upon his death it was the general expectation and desire of the people that the government would devolve upon him, as it doubtless would, if Abner had not set up one of Saul's house, and persuaded the Israelites to own him their king.

15 Entonces Is-boset envi贸, y la quit贸 a su marido Paltiel, hijo de Lais.
16 Y su marido fue con ella, sigui茅ndola y llorando hasta Bahurim. Y le dijo Abner: Anda, vu茅lvete. Entonces 茅l se volvi贸.
17 Y habl贸 Abner con los ancianos de Israel, diciendo: Ayer y anteayer procurabais que David fuese rey sobre vosotros;
18 ahora, pues, hacedlo; porque el SE脩OR ha hablado a David, diciendo: Por la mano de mi siervo David librar茅 a mi pueblo Israel de mano de los filisteos, y de mano de todos sus enemigos.
19 Y habl贸 tambi茅n Abner a los de Benjam铆n; y fue tambi茅n Abner a Hebr贸n a decir a David todo el parecer de los de Israel y de toda la casa de Benjam铆n.
