Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David,.... As long as that continued, as it did until the following quarrel happened between Ishbosheth and Abner:
that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul; or was strongly in the interest of that house, and used his utmost endeavours to support and confirm it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Render, “And it came to pass, while the war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted, that Abner assisted the house of Saul.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 3:6. Abner made himself strong — This strengthening of himself, and going in to the late king's concubine, were most evident proofs that he wished to seize upon the government. See 1 Kings 2:21-22; 1 Kings 12:8; 1 Kings 16:21.
