Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:20

Theological / Devotional

The king’s son is dead. Joab recognized that the tidings that were to be carried to David would not be regarded by him as good. He would be concerned over one thing only — the fate of Absalom. Under the circumstances, nothing else mattered, whether it was defeat or victory, as long as Absalom was safe.
