CHAPTER 2

5 Moreover thou knowest also what ^aJoab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto ^bAbner the son of Ner, and unto ^cAmasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

5a	2 Sam. 18: 5. 5 And the king commanded ^aJoab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ^bDeal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
b	2 Sam. 3: 27 (27, 39) 27 And when ^aAbner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of ^bAsahel his brother.
c	2 Sam. 20: 10. 10 But ^aAmasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he smote him therewith in the ^bfifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
