2 Samuel3:1
NOw there was long war between the house of Saul, and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
For five Years longer: for it is probable that Ishbosheth was made King presently upon Saul's death, to give them countenance for their Rebellion against David; and the other Tribes did not submit to David before seven Years were expired.
