Page 3 / 3 (1Ch 11:6–Psa 60:1)
David said, “Whoever is the first to kill a Jebusite will become chief commander.” Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became the chief.
He built up the city all the way around, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding parts, and Joab restored the rest of the city.
Abishai, Joab’s brother, was the leader of the Three.[fn] He raised his spear against three hundred men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.
Zelek the Ammonite,
Naharai the Beerothite, the armor-bearer for Joab son of Zeruiah,
Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army;
Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was court historian;
When Joab saw that there was a battle line in front of him and another behind him, he chose some of Israel’s finest young men[fn] and lined up in formation to engage the Arameans.
Joab and the people with him approached the Arameans for battle, and they fled before him.
When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Joab’s brother Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab went to Jerusalem.
In the spring[fn] when kings march out to war, Joab led the army and destroyed the Ammonites’ land. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.
So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count Israel from Beer-sheba to Dan and bring a report to me so I can know their number.”
Joab replied, “May the LORD multiply the number of his people a hundred times over! My lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel? ”
Yet the king’s order prevailed over Joab. So Joab left and traveled throughout Israel and then returned to Jerusalem.
Joab gave the total troop registration to David. In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand armed men[fn] and in Judah itself four hundred seventy thousand armed men.
But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count because the king’s command was detestable to him.
All that the seer Samuel, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah had dedicated, along with everything else that had been dedicated, were in the care of Shelomith and his relatives.
The fourth commander, for the fourth month, was Joab’s brother Asahel, and his son Zebadiah was commander after him; 24,000 were in his division.
Joab son of Zeruiah began to count them, but he didn’t complete it. There was wrath against Israel because of this census, and the number was not entered in the Historical Record[fn] of King David.
After Ahithophel came Jehoiada son of Benaiah, then Abiathar. Joab was the commander of the king’s army.
