Commentary on 2 Samuel 2:31

  • Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on 2 Samuel 2:25-32: Here, I. Abner, being conquered, meanly begs for a cessation of arms. He rallied the remains of his forces on the top of a hill (Sa2 2:25), as if he would have made head again, but becomes a humble supplicant to Joab for a little breathing-time, Sa2 2:26. He that was most forward to fight was the first that had enough of it.
  • John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on 2 Samuel 2:31: But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and Abner's men,.... Of those of the tribe of Benjamin that joined him, and of those that he brought with him from Mahanaim; so many of them were smitten, as appeared by their bodies lying on the field of battle: so that three hundred and threescore men died; the number of the slain on each side was very unequal.
  • Geneva Bible Notes (Reformed), Geneva Bible Study Notes on 2 Samuel 2:31: But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, [so that] three hundred and threescore men died. (p) Thus God would confirm David in his kingdom by the destruction of his adversaries.
  • Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on 2 Samuel 2:30-31: 2Sa 2:30-31 Joab also assembled his men for a retreat. Nineteen of his soldiers were missing besides Asahel, all of whom had fallen in the battle. But they had slain as many as three hundred and sixty of Benjamin and of Abner’s men.
