As Abner dies so does the strength of Saul's family. As the commander of the Israelite army, Abner was loyal to both Saul and his son's. Keeping the royal family strong was his desire. It seems that he gets placed with the 'bad guy' image because David is clearly the 'good guy' here.
There seems to be nobility in Abner's character. He is loyal, capable, and a leader. I think that is why David shows such remorse in his death. This will mark the end of the civil war in Israel. David is about to enter into another amazing chapter in his life. All due to the fact that God is offering this adventure to him. And this new chapter will be far from ordinary.
"Father, thank You for offering us adventure."
Heart and Soul,
BAG
