Wesley's Notes for 1 Chronicles 12:32
12:32 The times - They understood public affairs, the temper of thenation, and the tendencies of the present events. And they shewed theirwisdom at this time; for as they had adhered to Saul while he lived,as knowing the time was not yet come for David to take possession ofthe kingdom: and as they could not join David, while Abner lived,and had the command of the other tribes wherewith they were encompassed,so as soon as he was dead, and they had opportunity to declare themselves,they owned David for their king.
