1 Reis 2:5

5 “Você sabe muito bem o que Joabe, filho de Zeruia, me fez; o que fez com os dois comandantes dos exércitos de Israel, Abner, filho de Ner, e Amasa, filho de Jéter. Ele os matou, derramando sangue em tempos de paz; agiu como se estivesse em guerra, e com aquele sangue manchou o seu cinto e as suas sandálias.

1 Reis 2:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 2:5

Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did
unto me
In slaying Absalom, contrary to his orders, and in behaving insolently towards him on account of his mourning for him, and at other times; but as these things might not be personally known to Solomon, only by hearsay, this may respect his disloyalty towards him, in joining with Adonijah, who set himself up for king in his lifetime, and without his knowledge and consent; or it may respect the instances next mentioned, in which he did injury to the interest, honour, and character of David:

[and],
or "even",

what he did to the two captains of the host of Israel, unto Abner the
son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew;
to Abner who was under Ishbosheth, and Amasa under David, who had not only the promise of the post, but was actually in it when Joab slew him; and indeed out of envy to him for it:

and shed the blood of war in peace;
when they were at peace with him, as if they had been in open war; and even under a pretence of friendship to them, asking of their peace and welfare, as if he meant nothing less than to behave peaceably towards them; hence the Targum is,

``whom he slew in craftiness:''

and put the blood of war upon the girdle that [was] about his loins,
and in his shoes that [were] in his feet;
which particularly respects the affair of Amasa, whose blood he shed with his sword, that dropped out of its scabbard, girded upon his loins, and into which he put it again, all over bloody, and wore it girded upon his loins; and which he also stooped for when it fell, as if he was going to unloose or buckle his shoes, and into which the blood ran down when he stabbed him; and after this barbarous action marched on without any shame or remorse, with his bloody sword on his loins, and the blood of the murdered in his shoes.

1 Reis 2:5 In-Context

3 Obedeça ao que o SENHOR, o seu Deus, exige: ande nos seus caminhos e obedeça aos seus decretos, aos seus mandamentos, às suas ordenanças e aos seus testemunhos, conforme se acham escritos na Lei de Moisés; assim você prosperará em tudo o que fizer e por onde quer que for,

4 e o SENHOR manterá a promessa que me fez: ‘Se os seus descendentes cuidarem de sua conduta e se me seguirem fielmente de todo o coração e de toda a alma, você jamais ficará sem descendente no trono de Israel’.

5 “Você sabe muito bem o que Joabe, filho de Zeruia, me fez; o que fez com os dois comandantes dos exércitos de Israel, Abner, filho de Ner, e Amasa, filho de Jéter. Ele os matou, derramando sangue em tempos de paz; agiu como se estivesse em guerra, e com aquele sangue manchou o seu cinto e as suas sandálias.

6 Proceda com a sabedoria que você tem e não o deixe envelhecer e descer em paz à sepultura.

7 “Mas seja bondoso com os filhos de Barzilai, de Gileade; admita-os entre os que comem à mesa com você, pois eles me apoiaram quando fugi do seu irmão Absalão.
