• Joab appears on the scene, as is the case every time that these matters of intrigue and wickedness recur in the history. (“2 Samuel 11-13” by J.N. Darby)
• Joab never does anything that does not serves his self-interest. If he is embracing David's cause his motive is not affection although he does demonstrate a certain attachment to his master, but because he thinks that David's side is more likely to advance his ambitions....Above all, Joab sought to make himself indispensable. The best way to achieve this was to cater to the king's weaknesses. (“Joab: 2 Samuel 14” by H.L. Rossier)
• At the end of 2 Sam. 13 the king was longing for Absalom. This was an unfortunate weakness. Absalom was a murderer; the law of the Lord did not allow David to long after him. The murderer fell into the hands of the avenger of blood, and expiation could not be made except by the blood of the one who had shed blood (Num. 35:33). David had demonstrated this in the cases of the Amalekite and Baanah and Rechab. When Absalom returned from his voluntary exile, the sentence ought to have been executed. To spare him would be to add disobedience to transgression. (“Joab: 2 Samuel 14” by H.L. Rossier)
• Through the prophet's mouth the Lord had let him know (2 Sam. 12:24-25) which of his sons He had chosen; this son was Solomon, the son of Bathsheba, whom God had called "Jedidiah, the beloved of the Lord." Joab realized that David's heart secretly cherished the thought of having Absalom as his successor, although perhaps David would not even have admitted this desire to himself. (“Joab: 2 Samuel 14” by H.L. Rossier)
