Contextual Overview
8 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Saul's son Ish-bosheth to Mahanaim. 9 He made him king of Gilead, the Ashurites, Jezreel, Ephraim, Benjamin, and all Israel. 10 Saul's son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he became king of Israel. He was king for two years. But the family of Judah followed David. 11 David was king in Hebron over the family of Judah for seven years and six months. 12 Now Abner the son of Ner went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon with the servants of Saul's son Ish-bosheth. 13 And Zeruiah's son Joab and the servants of David went out and met them by the pool of Gibeon. One group sat down on one side of the pool, and the other group on the other side. 14 Then Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men get up and have a test of strength in front of us." And Joab said, "Let them get up." 15 So they stood up and went over by number. There were twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 16 Each one of them took hold of the head of the one fighting against him, and put his sword into the other's side. So they fell down together. That is why that place was called field of swords, which is in Gibeon. 17 The battle was very bad that day. Abner and the men of Israel were beaten by the servants of David.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah,.... And over them only,
was seven years and six months; to which being added thirty three years he reigned over all Israel in Jerusalem, made forty years and six months; and which, for the roundness of the number, is usually called forty years. See 2 Samuel 5:4.
