ExplanationCommentary
Verse 7. Men. It seems Joab accompanied them, though in a manner divested of his command, by the king’s appointing Amasa, and then Abisai, to his exclusion. After the slaughter of the former, he resumed his authority; (verse 10) and David was forced to acquiesce, for fear of another civil war, reserving his punishment for more peaceable times. Bible.
