And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who [art] thou [that] criest to the king?
Ver. 14. Answerest thou not, Abner?] It seemeth that David had often called unto him, and that by name; for so men asleep are soonest waked.
That criest to the king,] i.e., To the disturbance of the king.
