Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 30. - Joab and Abishai his brother. Nothing is said of Abishai having taken part in the murder, but the words suggest that it was a premeditated act, and that Abishai was privy to it.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) Slew . . . had slain.--The words are different in Hebrew, the former denoting violence. Translate the latter had put to death. By this strong disapproval of Joab's act, David shows that it was done without his knowledge or consent. He still remains at fault, however, for continuing Joab in his high and responsible position; but this seems to have been the result of inability to inflict proper punishment upon so powerful a subject, an inability which David on his death-bed sought to remedy by his charge to Solomon. (See 2Samuel 3:39; 1Kings 2:5.)
