Joab
Joab has continually confounded me during my sojourning in Samuel and Chronicles. Here are some facts: *He was the son of Zeruiah, a sister of David. So, Joab was David's Nephew *Joab has been with David since the cave of Adullam when 400 men and his family come to support him. *He had two brothers, Abashai and Asahel. *He was a brave commander, not afraid to fight and seize the moment. 2 Samuel 10: 9-14 *Joab was from Judah. Abner, Ishbosheth, (and Saul) were from the tribe of Benjamin, representing Israel.
