[edit] People named Joab

There are quite a few people named Joab. Try Googling "Joab -David".--Nowa 19:33, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

How is "Joab" pronounced? Is it "jo-ab," so that its pronunciation is distinct from that of Job (Biblical figure)? --LostLeviathan 00:17, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chronological Problem

David replaced Joab as commander of the army before the battle where Joab killed Absalom. Joab's "fall from favor" could not have been as a result of his killing Absalom. A more plausible reason would be military ineptitude or perhaps failing to field an army that could match the combined might of the other 11 tribes.

[edit] Fixing Disparities Between this Article and 1 Kings 2

At the end of David's life he tells Solomon how to deal with Joab and explains why (1 Kings 2:5). Therefore I am changing the section that says Solomon had Joab killed for supporting Adonijah's bid for the throne, and I am also amending the part that says that Joab fell out of favor with David for killing Absalom.

[edit] Where Yoav fled to

The HOLY TEMPLE had not yet been built at the time that Yoav and Adoniyya plotted against Shelomo. Yoav fled to the Tent of HASHEM. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.99.82.209 (talk) 18:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC).
