Day 123 - 2 Samuel 20

2 Samuel 20
Listen from:
Another traitor appears — Sheba. You may have remembered that Joab had been replaced as David’s army general by Amasa (2 Sam. 19:1313And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab. (2 Samuel 19:13)). But here we see Joab acting firmly and bravely for the king in getting rid of the traitor Sheba, although he acts very deceitfully towards Amasa and murders him. Joab was always too hard a man for David (2 Sam. 3:27-39), particularly the last verse.
