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.
