2 Samuel — Chapter 4

Cornelius à Lapide SJ · Biblical Commentary

Verse 1

The death of Ishbosheth by treachery from his own commanders, Baanah and Rechab. Lapide notes David punished the assassins of Ishbosheth as murderers, though he gained the throne thereby — showing that lawful ends do not justify wicked means. [OCR: illegible] marginal note partially cut off.
