Context — Abner Joins David

14Then David sent messengers to say to Ish-bosheth son of Saul, “Give me back my wife, Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred Philistine foreskins.” 15So Ish-bosheth sent and took Michal from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.

16Her husband followed her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go back.” So he returned home.

17Now Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, “In the past you sought David as your king. 18Now take action, because the LORD has said to David, ‘Through My servant David I will save My people Israel from the hands of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”

2 Samuel 3:16 Summary

This verse shows us a sad scene where Michal's husband, Paltiel, is weeping as he follows her away from their home, because he loves her and doesn't want to be separated from her. Abner, the commander of Saul's army, tells Paltiel to go back, which shows that Abner is trying to help David and Ish-bosheth come to an agreement. This verse teaches us about the importance of loving and being devoted to our spouses, as seen in Ephesians 5:25, and trusting in God's sovereignty, even in difficult circumstances, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6. It also shows us how our personal relationships can be affected by the circumstances of our lives, like David's efforts to unify the kingdom of Israel, as seen in 2 Samuel 5:1-12.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was Michal's husband, Paltiel, weeping as he followed her?

Paltiel was weeping because he loved Michal and did not want to be separated from her, as seen in his actions in 2 Samuel 3:16, which shows the depth of his emotional attachment to her, much like the love described in Song of Solomon 8:6.

Who was Abner and why did he tell Paltiel to go back?

Abner was the commander of Saul's army, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 26:5, and he told Paltiel to go back because he was trying to facilitate the return of Michal to David, as part of the negotiations between David and Ish-bosheth, as seen in 2 Samuel 3:14-15.

What can we learn from Paltiel's actions in this verse?

Paltiel's actions show us the importance of loving and being devoted to our spouses, as commanded in Ephesians 5:25 and Ephesians 5:33, and also the need to trust in God's sovereignty, even in difficult circumstances, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6.

How does this verse relate to the rest of the story in 2 Samuel?

This verse is part of the larger narrative of David's rise to power and his efforts to unify the kingdom of Israel, as seen in 2 Samuel 2:1-7 and 2 Samuel 5:1-12, and it shows how David's personal life and relationships were intertwined with his political dealings, much like the accounts in 1 Kings 1:1-40.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 3:16

And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:16

Bahurim; a city of Benjamin, upon the borders of Judah. See .

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:16

2 Samuel 3:16 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.Ver. 16. And her husband went with her along weeping.] Heb., Going and weeping, as having still a month’ s mind - as we say - to a wife so noble and beautiful. So have many to their sweet sins, which yet, for some inconveniences, they are forced to leave, but cannot be drawn to loath. Phaltiel might have taken up that for his motto - Nocet empta dolore voluptas, and so shall all sinners at length, “ Habet omnis hoc voluptas, Stimulis agit fruentes: Apiumque par volantum Ubi greta mella fudit, Fugit et nimis tenaci Ferit icta corda morsu. ” - Boet., lib. iii. metr. 7.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:16

(16) Weeping behind her.—Phaltiel appears to have been sincerely attached to Michal, and it may be supposed that his affection was reciprocated. But it is to be remembered that she was not rightfully his wife, and that David’s claim was prior as well as better. According to 1 Samuel 25:44, Phaltiel was of Gallim, a place thought, from the connection in which it is mentioned in Isaiah 10:30, to have been in Benjamin, and not far from Gibeah; but he had probably crossed the Jordan with the adherents of the house of Saul. Bahurim was on the road from the Mount of Olives to the Jordan valley, and hence on the way from Mahanaim to Hebron, and a long distance from the former. It was the residence of Shimei (2 Samuel 16:5), and the place of concealment of David’s messengers, Jonathan and Ahimaaz (2 Samuel 17:18).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:16

Verse 16. Weeping behind her] If genuine affection did not still subsist between David and Michal, it was a pity to have taken her from Phaltiel, who had her to wife from the conjoint authority of her father and her king. Nevertheless David had a legal right to her, as she had never been divorced, for she was taken from him by the hand of violence.

Cambridge Bible on 2 Samuel 3:16

16. Bahurim] A village mentioned again only in connexion with David’s flight from Jerusalem as the residence of Shimei (ch. 2 Samuel 16:5), and the place where Jonathan and Ahimaaz hid themselves (ch. 2 Samuel 17:18). It belonged to the tribe of Benjamin, and was on the road from Jerusalem over the Mount of Olives to the Jordan fords. A Jewish tradition in the Targum identifies it with Almon (Joshua 21:18), now Almît, about 4 miles N.E. of Jerusalem, and a mile beyond Anathoth (Anâta). According to this view, which is adopted by Lieut. Conder, it was not on the main road through Bethany, but on a road which leads across the saddle north of the principal summit of the Mount of Olives.

Barnes' Notes on 2 Samuel 3:16
