Commentary on 2 Samuel 16:9

Theological / Devotional

This dead dog. See 2 Samuel 9:8; 1 Samuel 24:14. To Abishai the man who was cursing David was a creature most contemptible. He was taking a cruel advantage of David’s misfortune and ought not to be permitted to live. David still was king and need not have suffered these insults to be hurled at him.
