Abner:
"Now there was¹ a manª of Benjamin,ª¹ whose nameª [was] Kish,ª the sonª of Abiel,ª the sonª of Zeror,ª the sonª of Bechorath,ª the sonª of Aphiah,ª a Benjamite,ª a mighty² man²¹ of power.ª" {1Sm 9:1} + "And the nameª of Saul'sª wifeª [was] Ahinoam,ª the daughterª of Ahimaaz:ª and the nameª of the captainª of his hostª [was] Abner,ª the sonª of Ner,ª Saul'sª uncle.ª ... And Kishª [was] the fatherª of Saul;ª and Nerª the fatherª of Abnerª [was] the sonª of Abiel.ª" {1Sm 14:50-51} + "And when Saulª sawª°¹ Davidª go forthª° againstª° the Philistine,ª he saidª° unto¹ Abner,ª the captainª of the host,ª Abner,ª whose¹ sonª [is] this¹ youth?ª And Abnerª said,ª° [As] thy soulª liveth,ª O king,ª I cannotª tell.ª°" {1Sm 17:55} + "But Abnerª the sonª of Ner,ª captainª of Saul'sª host,ª tookª°¹ Ishboshethª the sonª of Saul,ª and brought him overª° to Mahanaim;ª ... And Abnerª the sonª of Ner,ª and the servantsª of Ishboshethª the sonª of Saul,ª went outª° from Mahanaimª¹ to Gibeon.ª" {2Sm 2:8-12} + "And Saulª had a concubine,ª whose nameª [was] Rizpah,ª the daughterª of Aiah:ª and [Ishbosheth] saidª° to¹ Abner,ª Wherefore¹ hast thou gone¹ in²° unto¹ my father'sª concubine?ª ... Then was Abnerª veryª wrothª° for¹ the wordsª of Ishbosheth,ª and said,ª° [Am] I¹ a dog'sª head,ª which¹ against Judahª do shewª° kindnessª this dayª unto¹ the houseª of Saulª thy father,ª to¹ his brethren,ª and to¹ his friends,ª and have not¹ deliveredª° thee into the handª of David,ª that thou chargestª°¹ me to dayª with a faultª concerning this woman?ª" {2Sm 3:7-8} + "And when Abnerª was returnedª° to Hebron,ª Joabª took him asideª° inªª the gateª to speakª° with¹ him quietly,ª and smoteª° him there¹ under the fifthª [rib], that he died,ª° for the bloodª of Asahelª his brother.ª" {2Sm 3:27} + "And the kingª lamentedª° over¹ Abner,ª and said,ª° Diedª° Abnerª as a foolª dieth?ª ... And the kingª saidª° unto¹ his servants,ª Knowª° ye not¹ that¹ there is a princeª and a great manª fallenª° this¹ dayª in Israel?ª" {2Sm 3:33-38} + "And Nerª begatª°¹ Kish;ª and Kishª begatª°¹ Saul;ª and Saulª begatª°¹ Jonathan,ª and Malchishua,ª and Abinadab,ª and Eshbaal.ª" {1Ch 9:39}
trench:
or, midst of his carriages, "And Davidª rose up earlyª° in the morning,ª and leftª°¹ the sheepª with¹ a keeper,ª° and took,ª° and went,²°¹ as¹ Jesseª had commandedª° him; and he cameª° to the trench,ª as the hostª was going forthª° to¹ the fight,ª and shoutedª° for the battle.ª" {1Sm 17:20}; The word maugal never signifies a ditch or rampart, but a chariot or waggon way. Nor does it seem to denote a ring of carriages, as Buxtorf and others interpret the word; for it is not probable that Saul would encumber his army with baggage in so rapid a pursuit, nor that so mountainous a country was practicable for waggons. It appears simply to mean here, the circular encampment (from agal, "round") which these troops formed, in the midst of which, as being the place of honour, Saul reposed. An Arab camp, D'Arvieux informs us, is always circular, when the disposition of the ground will permit, the prince being in the middle, and the troops at a respectful distance around him. Add to which, their lances are fixed near them in the ground all the day long, ready for action.
