21<\/strong>. and will gather all Israel<\/em> ] A meeting of the national assembly or “congregation of Israel” was requisite to accept David as king. Cp. ch. 2Sa 5:1<\/span>, and see note on 1Sa 10:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n Abner<\/em> ] Observe the emphatic way in which Abner’s name is repeated in 2Sa 3:17-21<\/em><\/span>, and not merely represented by pronouns. It concentrates attention on the personality of this man who treats as the agent for the transfer of a kingdom which his own energy has consolidated.<\/p>\n Abner repeats the offer 2Sa 3:12<\/span>; and the condition of Michals return 2Sa 3:13<\/span> being now fulfilled, David accepts it, and the league between them was solemnly ratified at Davids board, amidst the rites of hospitality.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 21<\/span>. He went in peace.<\/B><\/I>] David dismissed him in good faith, having no sinister design in reference to him.<\/P> <\/p>\n All Israel, <\/B>i.e. the elders and chieftains of all Israel, representing and ruling all the rest. <\/P> <\/p>\n And Abner said to David, I will arise and go<\/strong>,…. Into the several parts of the land of Israel:<\/p>\n and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king<\/strong>; the princes of the several tribes, and the elders of the people, their heads and principal men:<\/p>\n that they may make a league with thee<\/strong>; come into the league and covenant now made with Abner, and those with him:<\/p>\n and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth<\/strong>: which he supposed reached to all the people of the house of Israel and of Judah, though David had not expressed any eager and impatient desire of government, but waited the Lord’s time to be put into the possession of the whole kingdom of Israel:<\/p>\n and David sent Abner away, and he went in peace<\/strong>; with inward satisfaction of mind, pleased that things were so well settled and adjusted to the content of all parties, and with outward satiety of body, no insults or attempts being made upon him by any of David’s men; which perhaps would not have been the case if Joab had been at court, as may be concluded from what follows.<\/p>\n 2Sa 3:21 And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.<\/p>\n Ver. 21. I will arise and go, and will gather.<\/strong> ] He doubted not but to do all this, as if the whole matter had lain in his hand. God is not in all his thoughts.<\/p>\n thine heart = thy soul. Hebrew. nephesh.

Abner said, I will gather all Israel unto my lord the king How empty and ill founded are the purposes of vain man! Abner, who here promises kingdoms, soon found that he could not ensure to himself one hour of life. David had sent him away, and he departed in peace; but, Behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop In those times of distraction between Judah and Israel, we may well think their neighbours, who were enemies to both, namely, the Philistines, Edomites, Moabites, and others, made many inroads upon the country to get spoil. Joab, however, and the valiant men about David, watched to prevent this, and at this time had overtaken a company of them, in their return home, and recovered a great booty from them.<\/p>\n And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth.
