Theological / Devotional

Zeruiah. Zeruiah was the sister of David (1 Chronicles 2:16), and Joab was therefore the nephew of David. He later became the commander in chief of David’s armies (1 Chronicles 11:6; cf. 2 Samuel 5:8).

The pool of Gibeon. To the southeast of the hill of Gibeon is a copious spring that issues into a reservoir excavated in the limestone rock. Below, a large open reservoir, the ruins of which still remain, stored the overflow from this subterranean spring. The forces of Joab and Abner sat in full sight of each other, on opposite sides of the pool.
