Scripture Union Daily Guide 29th May 2026 Outline
Abner was a seasoned fighter who could easily read the writing on the wall for him and the house of Saul (2 Samuel 3:1). He saw the possibility for him becoming the commander of the united army, so he directly negotiated with David to remove any serious obstacles to that move. The driving motive for him is personal gain and not the common good of the nation. Ish-Bosheth rightly charged Abner with sexual misconduct because he had sexual relations with Rizpah, Saul’s concubine.
Instead of accepting and confessing his evil deed, he threatened Ish-Bosheth and quickly defected to David. He used his power and leadership of the army to intimidate and threaten Ish-Bosheth. Many leaders sometimes refuse to confess their sin but hide behind their authority or office covering up one sin with another sin of pride. Such leaders often surround themselves with other corrupt leaders. It becomes a cartel of corrupt leaders who encourage open sin in the church and society.
Read Proverbs 28:13. What do you think of David’s demand for the restoration of his betrothed wife, as a precondition for any proposed pact with Abner (2 Samuel 3:13-16)? Social justice is essential for meaningful social integration and peaceful coexistence.
