2 Samuel 20:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 20:23

Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel
Established in the post in which he formerly was; either having been never displaced, which though David thought to do, he was not able to effect it, because of his power and influence with the people; or if he had displaced him, which by some things in this chapter seemed to be the case, yet Amasa being dead, and the rebellion crushed by Joab, which still made him more haughty, and increased his popularity, David saw it most advisable to replace him; and because mention is made of him, as established in his office as general over the whole army, an account is given of the rest of David's officers; and the rather, as it was a sort of beginning his reign anew, after quelling the above rebellions:

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites, and over
the Pelethites;
was continued in his post, see ( 2 Samuel 8:18 ) .

2 Samuel 20:23 In-Context

21 sondern ein Mann vom Gebirge Ephraim mit Namen Seba, der Sohn Bichris, hat sich empört wider den König David. Gebt ihn allein her, so will ich von der Stadt ziehen. Die Frau aber sprach zu Joab: Siehe, sein Haupt soll zu dir über die Mauer geworfen werden.
22 Und die Frau kam hinein zu allem Volk mit ihrer Weisheit. Und sie hieben Seba, dem Sohn Bichris, den Kopf ab und warfen ihn zu Joab. Da blies er die Posaune, und sie zerstreuten sich von der Stadt, ein jeglicher in seine Hütte. Joab aber kam wieder gen Jerusalem zum König.
23 Joab aber war über das ganze Heer Israels. Benaja, der Sohn Jojadas, war über die Krether und Plether.
24 Adoram war Rentmeister. Josaphat, der Sohn Ahiluds, war Kanzler.
