And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

And Uriah said unto David: 'The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and a

And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

יוֹאָ֑ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men were.

יוֹאָ֖ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”

Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

יוֹאָ֑ב yo.'Av “Joab”

So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.

יוֹאָֽב׃ yo.'Av “Joab”

Then David said unto the messenger: 'Thus shalt thou say unto Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth in one manner or another; make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it; and encourage thou him.'

Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab sent messengers to David, and said: 'I have fought against Rabbah, yea, I have taken the city of waters.

יוֹאָ֛ב yo.'Av “Joab”

Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.

יוֹאָ֣ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her: 'I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, I pray thee, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dea

and go in to the king, and speak on this manner unto him.' So Joab put the words in her mouth.

יוֹאָ֛ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And the king said: 'Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this?' And the woman answered and said: 'As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab, he

to change the face of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing; and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.'

יוֹאָ֖ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And the king said unto Joab: 'Behold now, I have granted this request; go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.'

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and prostrated himself, and blessed the king; and Joab said: 'To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found favour in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed the request of thy servant.'

So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

יוֹאָ֖ב yo.'Av “Joab”

Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him; and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

יוֹאָ֗ב yo.'Av “Joab”

Therefore he said unto his servants: 'See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire.' And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.

יוֹאָ֤ב yo.'Av “Joab”

Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him: 'Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?'

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Absalom answered Joab: 'Behold, I sent unto thee, saying: Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say: Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still; now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be iniqu

So Joab came to the king, and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.

יוֹאָ֣ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Absalom had set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Jesraelite, that went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.
