サムエル記下 2:30 JC

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 2:1-32

The first act of David was to inquire of God what he should do. Without hesitation, his own tribe crowned him king. His attitude toward the men of Jabesh-gilead was in the highest sense politic, and yet was in keeping with his attitude toward the house of Saul. The spirit of Saul, which was antagonistic to David, was perpetuated in Abner, Saul's cousin and captain of the host. He at once set himself to consolidate the house of Israel around the house of Saul. Ish-bosheth was merely a puppet... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 2:29-32

The Aftermath of the Battle (2 Samuel 2:29-32 ). When Saul and his companions had finished consulting with the medium of Endor ‘they arose and went away that night’ (1 Samuel 28:25), in contrast with David who was told by Achish to ‘start early in the morning, and depart as soon as you have light’ (1 Samuel 29:10. It appeared that there the writer was contrasting Saul’s journey into the darkness with David’s journey into the light. If that appears a little fanciful, consider the similar... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Samuel 2:8-32

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES—2 Samuel 2:8. “Took Ishbosheth.” Rather had taken. “Ishbosheth had probably been in the battle of Gilboa, and fled with Abner across the Jordan after the battle had been lost.” (Keil.) “Mahanaim,” On the eastern side of the Jordan, north of the brook Jabbok (Genesis 32:2-3). Ishbosheth or “Esh-baal” (see 1 Chronicles 8:33).

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 2:1-32

Chapter 2Now it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, and he said, Shall I go up to Judah ( 2 Samuel 2:1 )?Now to me it is interesting as we observe David, he doesn't take any actions without first of all seeking guidance from God. Now there's a scripture that says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path"( Proverbs 3:4 , Proverbs 3:5 ).Now many times we complain that we... read more

2 Samuel 2:1-32And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the Lord. Strength and weaknessDavid's sense of dependence upon God!1. His passive patience is exquisitely touching, and presents such a contrast to his recent unsettled haste of spirit. We shall find this quiet restfulness characterising his triumphant hours. Not inertness and supineness--active dependence. Not sloth--that marked his faithless hours--but a calm restfulness, betokening living faith. He makes no effort to... read more

2 Samuel 2:5-32And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-Gilead.Attempts at conciliation defeated1. The chief anxiety of David, alter being anointed king over the house of Judah, would naturally be how to secure the peaceful allegiance of the other tribes. Prompted by the desire to prevent civil war, and also by the amiable feelings of his own heart, he sent a kind and grateful message to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, complimenting them on the respect they had shown for the mutilated remains... read more

There lacked of David’s servants, &c.] War is the slaughter house of mankind, and the hell of this present world, saith one: Mars Alpha malorum.

30. Nineteen men and Asahel Whilst Abner lost three hundred and sixty men. But Abner’s army had been weakened and disheartened by the defeat at Gilboa, and perhaps by other subsequent struggles with the Philistines, whilst Joab’s men were probably all picked warriors, who had for years followed David, and taken lessons from his consummate military skill. read more
