Commentary on 2 Samuel 2:10

Theological / Devotional

Two years. Ish-bosheth began his reign in the same year as David, and reigned two years at Mahanaim. This does not mean that the total length of Ish-bosheth’s reign was two years, but that after two years the events about to be described, Abner’s war with David (vs. 12—32), the long war between the house of Saul and the house of David (ch. 3:1), and Abner’s revolt to David (ch. 3:6—39), took place (see PP 699).
