Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 3:6

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

6-11. Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul —In the East, the wives and concubines of a king are the property of his successor to this extent, that for a private person to aspire to marry one of them would be considered a virtual advance of pretensions to the crown (see :- ). It is not clear whether the accusation against Abner was well or ill founded. But he resented the charge as an indignity, and, impelled by revenge, determined to transfer all the weight of his influence to the opposite party. He evidently set a full value on his services, and seems to have lorded it over his weak nephew in a haughty, overbearing manner. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
