2 Samuel 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 3:10

To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul
Which was what the Lord had sworn to do, ( 1 Samuel 15:28 1 Samuel 15:29 ) ; and which Abner now threatens to do, insolently taking that to himself which belonged to the Lord, and as if he could not do it without him:

and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah;
over the one as well as over the other; for it was set over Judah already:

from Dan even unto Beersheba;
which were the utmost borders of the land of Israel, from north to south, and so includes the whole.

2 Samuel 3:10 In-Context

8 Then was Abner very angry for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah? This day do I show kindness to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.

9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Yahweh has sworn to David, I don't do even so to him;

10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.

11 He could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.

12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also], Make your league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with you, to bring about all Israel to you.
