Abner
Father of light; i.e., "enlightening", the son of Ner and uncle of
Saul. He was commander-in-chief of Saul's army 1Sa 14:50 17:55 20:25
He first introduced David to the court of Saul after the victory over
Goliath 1Sa 17:57 After the death of Saul, David was made king over
Judah, and reigned in Hebron. Among the other tribes there was a
feeling of hostility to Judah; and Abner, at the head of Ephraim,
fostered this hostility in the interest of the house of Saul, whose
son Ish-bosheth he caused to be proclaimed king 2Sa 2:8 A state of
war existed between these two kings. A battle fatal to Abner, who was
the leader of Ish-boseth's army, was fought with David's army under
Joab at Gibeon 2Sa 2:12 Abner, escaping from the field, was
overtaken by Asahel, who was "light of foot as a wild roe," the
brother of Joab and Abishai, whom he thrust through with a back
stroke of his spear 2Sa 2:18-32 Being rebuked by Ish-bosheth for the
impropriety of taking to wife Rizpah, who had been a concubine of
King Saul, he found an excuse for going over to the side of David,
whom he now professed to regard as anointed by the Lord to reign over
all Israel. David received him favourably, and promised that he would
have command of the armies. At this time Joab was absent from Hebron,
but on his return he found what had happened. Abner had just left the
city; but Joab by a stratagem recalled him, and meeting him at the
gate of the city on his return, thrust him through with his sword
2Sa 3:27, 31-39 4:12 Comp. 1Ki 2:5,32 David lamented in pathetic
words the death of Abner, "Know ye not that there is a prince and a
great man fallen this day in Israel?" 2Sa 3:33-38
