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.
