But, while Joab's conduct cannot be too severely reprobated, the justice of God is apparent in Abner's punishment; who, from ambition, had pertinaciously, against his conscience, opposed the declared will of God; and was induced by base resentment to desert Ish-bosheth, and offer his services to David: see ver. 6-10; 4:6. for the blood.2:19-232 Samuel 11:21

D'Arvieux, describing an assembly of Arab emirs at an entertainment, says, "After the usual civilities, caresses, kissings of the beard, and of the hand, which every one gave and received according to his rank and dignity, they sat down upon mats." The doing this by the Arab emirs corresponds with the conduct of Joab, and illustrates this horrid assassination. to kiss him.Mt 26:48,49; Lu 22:47,48 in Joab's.9; Jud 3:21; 1Ch 12:2he smote.2:23; 3:27; Ge 4:8; 1Ki 2:5,6,31-34and shed.Ac 1:18,19struck him not again.

The altar was so sacred among all the people, that, in general, even the vilest wretch found safety, if he once reached it. This led to many abuses, and the perversion of public justice; and God decreed (Ex 24:14) that the presumptuous murderer, who had taken refuge at his altar, should be dragged thence and put to death. buried.2Ki 21:18; 2Ch 33:20in the.Jos 15:61; Mt 3:11 Kings 21:12-14
