Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Samuel 3:31

_ _ David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth — David’s sorrow was sincere and profound, and he took occasion to give it public expression by the funeral honors he appointed for Abner.

_ _ King David himself followed the bier — a sort of wooden frame, partly resembling a coffin, and partly a hand-barrow.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Samuel 3:22-39.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Samuel 3:31

Joab — Him he especially obliged to it, to bring him to repentance for his sin, and to expose him to public shame. Followed — That is, attending upon his corps, and paying him that respect which was due to his quality. Though this was against the usage of kings, and might seem below David's dignity; yet it was now expedient to vindicate himself from all suspicion of concurrence in this action.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Samuel 3:31

And David said to Joab, and to all the people that [were] with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn (m) before Abner. And king David [himself] followed the bier.

(m) Meaning before the corpse.

Cross-Reference Topical ResearchStrong's Concordance
And David:
David, intending no doubt to punish Joab, and to lessen his authority with the people, commanded him to take upon him the office of chief mourner; but, as his revenge was gratified, his rival removed, and no heavier punishment inflicted, it is probable his hardened mind would feel but little objection to the ceremony.
