- Joab:
- "And he conferredª with¹ Joabª the sonª of Zeruiah,ª and with¹ Abiatharª the priest:ª and they followingª Adonijahª helpedª° [him]." {1Kg 1:7} + "And now,¹ behold,¹ Adonijahª reigneth;ª° and now,¹ my lordª the king,ª thou knowestª° [it] not:¹ ... And he hath slainª° oxenª and fat cattleª and sheepª in abundance,ª and hath calledª° all¹ the sonsª of the king,ª and Abiatharª the priest,ª and Joabª the captainª of the host:ª but Solomonª thy servantª hath he not¹ called.ª°" {1Kg 1:18-19} + "And I¹ [am] this dayª weak,ª though anointedª° king;ª and these¹ men²¹ the sonsª of Zeruiahª [be] too hardª for¹ me: the LORDª shall rewardª° the doer¹ of evil²°¹ according to his wickedness.ª" {2Sm 3:39} + "And the kingª commandedª°¹ Joabª and Abishaiª and Ittai,ª saying,ª° [Deal] gentlyª for my sake with the young man,ª [even] with Absalom.ª And all¹ the peopleª heardª° when the kingª gave¹ all¹ the captainsª chargeª° concerningª¹ Absalom.ª" {2Sm 18:5} + "And the manª saidª° unto¹ Joab,ª Thoughª I¹ should receiveª° a thousandª [shekels] of silverª in¹ mine hand,ª [yet] would I not¹ put forthª° mine handª against¹ the king'sª son:ª for¹ in our hearingª the kingª chargedª° thee and Abishaiª and Ittai,ª saying,ª° Beware²° that none¹¹ [touch] the young manª Absalom.ª" {2Sm 18:12} + "Then saidª° Joab,ª I may not¹ tarryª° thus¹ with¹ thee.² And he tookª° threeª dartsª in his hand,ª and thrustª° them through the heartª of Absalom,ª while¹ he [was] yet aliveª in the midst¹ of the oak.ª" {2Sm 18:14} + "And Joabª cameª° into the houseª to¹ the king,ª and said,ª° Thou hast shamedª° this dayª¹ the facesª of all¹ thy servants,ª which this dayª have savedª°¹ thy life,ª and the livesª of thy sonsª and of thy daughters,ª and the livesª of thy wives,ª and the livesª of thy concubines;ª ... Now¹ therefore arise,ª° go forth,ª° and speakª° comfortablyª¹ unto thy servants:ª for¹ I swearª° by the LORD,ª if¹ thou go not forth,ª°¹ there will not¹ tarryª° oneª with¹ thee this night:ª and that¹ will be worseª° unto thee than all¹¹ the evilª that¹ befellª°¹ thee from thy youthª¹ until¹ now.¹" {2Sm 19:5-7}
