David sent to Joab, [ergänzt: saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. Joab sent Uriah to David.

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”יוֹאָ֛ב yo.'Av “Joab”

When Uriah was come to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

Uriah said to 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 you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.

יוֹאָ֜ב yo.'Av “Joab”

It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

יוֹאָ֑ב yo.'Av “Joab”

It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.

יוֹאָ֖ב yo.'Av “Joab”

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 shown David all that Joab had sent him for.

יוֹאָֽב׃ yo.'Av “Joab”

Then David said to the messenger, Thus shall you tell Joab, Don't let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another; make your battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage you him.

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

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

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”

Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yes, 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”

Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched there a wise woman, and said to her, please act like a mourner, and put on mourning clothing, Please, and don't anoint yourself with oil, but be as a woman who has a long time mourned for the dead:

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

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

יוֹאָ֛ב yo.'Av “Joab”

The king said, Is the hand of Joab with you in all this? The woman answered, As your soul lives, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid;

יוֹאָ֛ב yo.'Av “Joab”יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

to change the face of the matter has your 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”

The king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”

Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.

יוֹאָ֨ב yo.'Av “Joab”יוֹאָ֡ב yo.'Av “Joab”

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 to his servants, Behold, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire. Absalom's servants set the field on fire.

יוֹאָ֤ב yo.'Av “Joab”

Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, Why have your servants set my field on fire?

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”

Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, Why 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 iniquity in me, let him kill me.

יוֹאָ֡ב yo.'Av “Joab”

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”

Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
