Was Abner an enemy of David?
“Though Abner was David's enemy, and opposed his coming to the throne, yet David would not oppose the preferment of his son, but perhaps nominated him to this post of honour, which teaches us to render good for evil” (Matthew Henry). David's grief did not end at the graveside, but instead he mourned all day over Abner.
