Commentary on 2 Samuel 11:20

Theological / Devotional

King’s wrath. Joab was acquainted with David and knew that the king would be displeased when told of some reverse. David, as a wise commander, demanded prudence from those under him carrying responsibilities, and he held them accountable for any mistakes or errors in judgment. Only thus could he continue successfully to carry out his responsibilities as king and secure the greatest efficiency from his men.
