	2 SAMUEL CHAPTER 3
		The reproof was given because Abner, by his action, had presumed upon royal rights, for in the ancient Orient claim to the harem was claim to the throne, the suspicion thus being that he aspired to be king.
		Ishbosheth owed position, kingdom, everything to Abner, who seems to have been on his side merely out of loyalty for Saul; but there was no personal bond between them, and Abner regarded the charge flung into his face as an insult.
		And Ishbosheth, who would not have been able to refuse the demand of David even if he had been so inclined, sent and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel, the son of Laish, the man who seems to have taken her in good faith, 1 Sam.

		For when they came into the house, he was lying on his bed in his bedroom; then they struck him and killed him, beheaded him and took his head, and were all night escaping through the plain.
		They stabbed him in the stomach: Ishbosheth didn't gain any real loyalty among his troops; they were only loyal to him when they thought he was strong and had a chance to keep the throne of Saul.

		The feet of the two men who went to the home of Ishbosheth (son of Saul who ruled the northern kingdom, Israel) were instruments of their evil intentions.
		Ishbosheth was thrust into prominence, in a losing situation, and he could not escape the violence of the struggle for power.
		It is ironic that David had the head of Ishbosheth buried in the sepulchre of Abner who had been Ishbosheth's commanding general and had been killed by Joab, David's commanding general.

		And when Saul’s son, Ishbosheth, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, slack, he completely lost heart, and all the Israelites were troubled, not only terrified, but completely at a loss what to do next.
		Ishbosheth, although connected with a wrong cause, was himself without falsehood and blameless; he was not out on a raiding expedition or engaged in anything wrong, but was at home, doing no one any harm.
		But they took the head of Ishbosheth, which the murderers had brought along as a trophy of their deed, and buried it in the sepulcher of Abner in Hebron.

		This is probably the reason Ishbosheth so readily gave her back to David.

	The Skeptical Review - Turkel on the "House of Saul"
		This implies that Ishbosheth had been born to Saul's wife, and that conclusion is supported by texts that mention that Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, whose sons by Saul were named but did not include Ishbosheth.
		Let's notice that Ishbosheth did not say, "Why have you gone into my mother?" He asked instead why Abner had gone into his "father's concubine." This would indicate that if Ishbosheth had been illegitimately born, Rizpah was not his mother.
		The fact that Ishbosheth was never listed as the offspring of any such relationship but was twice included in listings of Saul's sons is a very strong implication that Ishbosheth was just as legitimate as Jonathan, Malchishua, and Abinadab, who were listed as Saul's sons in the genealogies quoted above.

		At the death of Ishbosheth, there were no more sons to carry on the family of Saul.
		II Samuel 4:5 "And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish- bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon." Ishbosheth seemed to be a very lazy man. He was lying down at noon here.
		II Samuel 4:6 "And they came thither into the midst of the house, [as though] they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth [rib]: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped." Under the fifth rib is mentioned, again here, because this is the easiest area to kill a person.

		He was totally unprepared for the great responsibility laid upon him as a result of the death of his father, Saul.

		David wastes little time with the misdirected 'hooligans.' He makes reference to the incident in which the Amalekite sought fame and fortune, and says "you are more guilty than he." David requires their blood according to Genesis 9:5, 6 and Numbers 35.
