SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:26
Y saliéndose Joab de con David, envió mensajeros tras Abner, los cuales le hicieron volver desde el pozo de Sira, sin saberlo David.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And when Joab was come out from David , etc.] Which perhaps he did at once, as soon as ever he had spoken his mind, and flew out of the room in a great passion, not waiting for the king’s answer, since we read of none returned; though it may be the king disdained to give him one, or cared not to confer with him while in his passion, until it subsided; or chose not to provoke him more, for it is plain he had great power over him; which generals of armies at this time very much assumed, (see 2 Samuel 3:39); he sent messengers after Abner ; in the name of the king, as Abarbinel rightly supposes, and so Josephus f58 ; for otherwise it can hardly be thought he would have returned on a message from Joab only, who he knew bore him ill will: which brought him again from the well of Sirah ; which might have its name from the thorns and briers that grew about it. Josephus calls it Besira, and says it was twenty furlongs or two and an half miles from Hebron: but David [knew] it not ; that Joab had sent messengers in his name after Abner to fetch him back; it was not done by his order, with his consent or knowledge; this is observed, to clear David from any concern in the death of Abner, as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-39 - Judgments are prepared for such scorners as Abner; but Joab, in what he did, acted wickedly. David laid Abner's murder deeply to heart, and in many ways expressed his detestation of it. The guilt of blood brings curse upon families: if men do not avenge it, God will. It is a sad thing to die like a fool, as they do that any way shorten their ow days, and those who make no provision for another world. Who would be fond of power, when a man may have the name of it, and must be accountable for it, yet is hampered in the use of it? David ought to have done his duty, and then trusted God with the issue. Carnal polic spared Joab. The Son of David may long delay, but never fails to punis impenitent sinners. He who now reigns upon the throne of David, has kingdom of a nobler kind. Whatever He doeth, is noticed by all his willing people, and is pleasing to them __________________________________________________________________
