Joab — Симфония — New Living Translation

One of David’s men saw what had happened and told Joab, “I saw Absalom dangling from a great tree.”

“What?” Joab demanded. “You saw him there and didn’t kill him? I would have rewarded you with ten pieces of silver and a hero’s belt!”

2Sam 18:12

“I would not kill the king’s son for even a thousand pieces of silver,” the man replied to Joab. “We all heard the king say to you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake, please spare young Absalom.’

2Sam 18:14

“Enough of this nonsense,” Joab said. Then he took three daggers and plunged them into Absalom’s heart as he dangled, still alive, in the great tree.

2Sam 18:15

Ten of Joab’s young armor bearers then surrounded Absalom and killed him.

2Sam 18:16

Then Joab blew the ram’s horn, and his men returned from chasing the army of Israel.

2Sam 18:20

“No,” Joab told him, “it wouldn’t be good news to the king that his son is dead. You can be my messenger another time, but not today.”

2Sam 18:21

Then Joab said to a man from Ethiopia, “Go tell the king what you have seen.” The man bowed and ran off.

2Sam 18:22

But Ahimaaz continued to plead with Joab, “Whatever happens, please let me go, too.” “Why should you go, my son?” Joab replied. “There will be no reward for your news.”

2Sam 18:23

“Yes, but let me go anyway,” he begged. Joab finally said, “All right, go ahead.” So Ahimaaz took the less demanding route by way of the plain and ran to Mahanaim ahead of the Ethiopian.

2Sam 18:29

“What about young Absalom?” the king demanded. “Is he all right?” Ahimaaz replied, “When Joab told me to come, there was a lot of commotion. But I didn’t know what was happening.”

2Sam 19:1

1 Word soon reached Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for Absalom.

2Sam 19:5

Then Joab went to the king’s room and said to him, “We saved your life today and the lives of your sons, your daughters, and your wives and concubines. Yet you act like this, making us feel ashamed of ourselves.

2Sam 19:13

And David told them to tell Amasa, “Since you are my own flesh and blood, like Joab, may God strike me and even kill me if I do not appoint you as commander of my army in his place.”

2Sam 20:7

So Abishai and Joab, together with the king’s bodyguard and all the mighty warriors, set out from Jerusalem to go after Sheba.

2Sam 20:8

As they arrived at the great stone in Gibeon, Amasa met them. Joab was wearing his military tunic with a dagger strapped to his belt. As he stepped forward to greet Amasa, he slipped the dagger from its sheath.

2Sam 20:9

“How are you, my cousin?” Joab said and took him by the beard with his right hand as though to kiss him.

2Sam 20:10

Amasa didn’t notice the dagger in his left hand, and Joab stabbed him in the stomach with it so that his insides gushed out onto the ground. Joab did not need to strike again, and Amasa soon died. Joab and his brother Abishai left him lying there and continued after Sheba.

2Sam 20:11

One of Joab’s young men shouted to Amasa’s troops, “If you are for Joab and David, come and follow Joab.”

2Sam 20:12

But Amasa lay in his blood in the middle of the road, and Joab’s man saw that everyone was stopping to stare at him. So he pulled him off the road into a field and threw a cloak over him.

2Sam 20:13

With Amasa’s body out of the way, everyone went on with Joab to capture Sheba son of Bicri.

2Sam 20:15

When Joab’s forces arrived, they attacked Abel-beth-maacah. They built a siege ramp against the town’s fortifications and began battering down the wall.

2Sam 20:16

But a wise woman in the town called out to Joab, “Listen to me, Joab. Come over here so I can talk to you.”

2Sam 20:17

As he approached, the woman asked, “Are you Joab?” “I am,” he replied. So she said, “Listen carefully to your servant.” “I’m listening,” he said.

2Sam 20:20

And Joab replied, “Believe me, I don’t want to devour or destroy your town!

2Sam 20:22

Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice, and they cut off Sheba’s head and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the ram’s horn and called his troops back from the attack. They all returned to their homes, and Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.

2Sam 20:23

Now Joab was the commander of the army of Israel. Benaiah son of Jehoiada was captain of the king’s bodyguard.

2Sam 23:18

18 Abishai son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, was the leader of the Thirty. He once used his spear to kill 300 enemy warriors in a single battle. It was by such feats that he became as famous as the Three.

2Sam 23:24

Other members of the Thirty included: Asahel, Joab’s brother; Elhanan son of Dodo from Bethlehem;

2Sam 23:37

Zelek from Ammon; Naharai from Beeroth, the armor bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah;

2Sam 24:2

So the king said to Joab and the commanders of the army, “Take a census of all the tribes of Israel — from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south — so I may know how many people there are.”

2Sam 24:3

But Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God let you live to see a hundred times as many people as there are now! But why, my lord the king, do you want to do this?”

2Sam 24:4

But the king insisted that they take the census, so Joab and the commanders of the army went out to count the people of Israel.

2Sam 24:9

Joab reported the number of people to the king. There were 800,000 capable warriors in Israel who could handle a sword, and 500,000 in Judah.

1Kgs 1:7

1Kgs 1:19

He has sacrificed many cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king’s sons to attend the celebration. He also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab, the commander of the army. But he did not invite your servant Solomon.

1Kgs 1:41

Adonijah and his guests heard the celebrating and shouting just as they were finishing their banquet. When Joab heard the sound of the ram’s horn, he asked, “What’s going on? Why is the city in such an uproar?”

1Kgs 2:5

“And there is something else. You know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me when he murdered my two army commanders, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He pretended that it was an act of war, but it was done in a time of peace, staining his belt and sandals with innocent blood.

1Kgs 2:22

“How can you possibly ask me to give Abishag to Adonijah?” King Solomon demanded. “You might as well ask me to give him the kingdom! You know that he is my older brother, and that he has Abiathar the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah on his side.”

1Kgs 2:28

Joab had not joined Absalom’s earlier rebellion, but he had joined Adonijah’s rebellion. So when Joab heard about Adonijah’s death, he ran to the sacred tent of the LORD and grabbed on to the horns of the altar.

1Kgs 2:30

Benaiah went to the sacred tent of the LORD and said to Joab, “The king orders you to come out!” But Joab answered, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah returned to the king and told him what Joab had said.

1Kgs 2:31

“Do as he said,” the king replied. “Kill him there beside the altar and bury him. This will remove the guilt of Joab’s senseless murders from me and from my father’s family.

1Kgs 2:33

May their blood be on Joab and his descendants forever, and may the LORD grant peace forever to David, his descendants, his dynasty, and his throne.”

1Kgs 2:34

So Benaiah son of Jehoiada returned to the sacred tent and killed Joab, and he was buried at his home in the wilderness.
