Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul,.... Which was what the Lord had sworn to do, 1-Samuel 15:28; and which Abner now threatens to do, insolently taking that to himself which belonged to the Lord, and as if he could not do it without him:
and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah; over the one as well as over the other; for it was set over Judah already:
from Daniel even unto Beersheba; which were the utmost borders of the land of Israel, from north to south, and so includes the whole.
