Abner Defects to David’s Camp
3:6As the war continued between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner was becoming more influential4 in the house of Saul.
Footnotes
- 4 Heb “was strengthening himself.” The statement may have a negative sense here, perhaps suggesting that Abner was overstepping the bounds of political propriety in a self-serving way.
