Theological / Devotional

Went out. That is, for the purpose of war (see 1 Samuel 18:30; 2 Samuel 21:17; 1 Chronicles 20:1).

To Gibeon. Desirous of extending his power over all Israel, Abner ventured to the borders of David’s domain. Gibeon was in the territory of Benjamin, 5 3/4 mi. (9.2 km.) northwest of Jerusalem. The site is now known as ej-Jib.
