1 Kings 2:30 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 2:30

28 Then news came to Joab, for Joab ^ahad defected to Adonijah, though he had not defected to Absalom. So Joab fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and ^btook hold of the horns of the altar.

29 And King Solomon was told, “Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the Lord; there he is, by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, ^astrike him down.”

30 So Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him, “Thus says the king, ^a‘Come out!’ ” And he said, “No, but I will die here.” And Benaiah brought back word to the king, saying, “Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.”

31 Then the king said to him, ^a“Do as he has said, and strike him down and bury him, ^bthat you may take away from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood which Joab shed.

32 So the Lord ^awill return his blood on his head, because he struck down two men more righteous ^band better than he, and killed them with the sword—^cAbner the son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and ^dAmasa the son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah—though my father David did not know it.
