Commentaries on 2 Samuel 3:5

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2-5David grew stronger and stronger (2 Samuel 3:1) by marrying more wives and having a son with each wife. Three of David’s sons who were born in Hebron died violent deaths. Two died during David’s reign (Amnon and Absalom), and one, Adonijah, died shortly after David’s death.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. Eglah David's wife--This addition has led many to think that Eglah was another name for Michal, the first and proper wife, who, though she had no family after her insolent ridicule of David (2Sa 6:23), might have had a child before. 2Sa 3:6-12. Abner Revolts to David.Read the comment
