Commentary on 2 Samuel 2:11

Theological / Devotional

Seven years and six months. This statement seems to be parenthetically introduced to give the total length of David’s reign at Hebron. Since the length of Ish-bosheth’s reign is not known (see on v. 10), we do not know the interval between Ish-bosheth’s death and the time that David was anointed king “over Israel” (ch. 5:3).
