So Joab and Abishai. With Amasa dead, there was no question as to who was now commander in chief of the forces of David, regardless of the king’s command. Amasa had been given the post (v. 4), and then Abishai was sent forth with the available troops (v. 6). But now Joab simply stepped into his old position, and without asking any questions continued the pursuit of Sheba.
