Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel,.... Had a conference with the chiefs of the several tribes about the affairs of the kingdom:
saying, ye sought for David in time past [to be] king over you; that is, at the death of Saul, and not before; for it was pretty generally known throughout the kingdom that David was anointed by Samuel and Saul himself had declared that he knew the kingdom would come to him; so that upon his death it was the general expectation and desire of the people that the government would devolve upon him, as it doubtless would, if Abner had not set up one of Saul's house, and persuaded the Israelites to own him their king.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Ye sought for David ... - Compare 1 Samuel 18:5. It was only by Abnerâs great influence that the elders of Israel had been restrained hitherto from declaring for David, and this accounts for Ish-boshethâs helpless submission to his uncleâs dictation.
