• That which was linked with Saul’s fleshly importance cannot support David. All is, however, now changed, for Ishbosheth was not Jehovah’s anointed, and to make him king was, in fact, to rebel against God. (“2 Samuel 1-2” by J.N. Darby)
• We find Abner, captain of Saul's army, who is unwilling to submit to David. Abner is an honorable man according to the world's standards, very valiant, with natural nobility of heart, but he has a violent and proud character. In supporting Ish-bosheth he is supporting the principle of succession by fleshly ties, clothed with the appearance of right, for Saul had been chosen by God. (“Hebron: 2 Samuel 2” by H.L. Rossier)
