SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:19
Y habló también Abner a los de Benjamín; y fue también Abner a Hebrón a decir a David todo el parecer de los de Israel y de toda la casa de Benjamín.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin , etc.] Of the inhabitants of the tribe of Benjamin, of which tribe he was, and among whom he had the greatest influence; and with whom it was necessary to take some pains, because of their attachment to the family of Saul, which was of that tribe; and being near to that of Judah, might give David a good deal of trouble, if they were not won over to him: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron ; having sounded the elders of Israel, and won their thoughts about the change of government, and found them well disposed to David, and had prevailed upon them to consent to make him king, and had gained the tribe of Benjamin on his side, went and reported to David the success he had: all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin ; how agreeable it was to the elders of Israel, and particularly to the tribe of Benjamin, to have David king over them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-21 - Many, like Abner, are not above committing base crimes, who are to proud to bear reproof, or even the suspicion of being guilty. While me go on in sin, and apparently without concern, they are often consciou that they are fighting against God. Many mean to serve their ow purposes; and will betray those who trust them, when they can get an advantage. Yet the Lord serves his own designs, even by those who ar thus actuated by revenge, ambition, or lust; but as they intend not to honour him, in the end they will be thrown aside with contempt. Ther was real generosity both to Michal and to the memory of Saul, in David's receiving the former, remembering probably how once he owed his life to her affection, and knowing that she was separated from his partly by her father's authority. Let no man set his heart on tha which he is not entitled to. If any disagreement has separated husban and wife, as they expect the blessing of God, let them be reconciled and live together in love.
