Melachim Alef 2:33

33 Let their dahm therefore turn back upon the rosh Yoav, and upon the rosh of his zera l’olam; but upon Dovid, and upon his Zera, and upon his Bais, and upon his Kisse, let there be shalom ad olam from Hashem.

Melachim Alef 2:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 2:33

Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and
upon the head of his seed for ever
Not only upon Joab, but upon his posterity as long as there would be any; signifying, that Joab's death would not be a sufficient satisfaction, but the punishment of his murders would be continued to his offspring: see ( 2 Samuel 3:29 ) ;

but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his
throne, shall there be peace for ever from the Lord;
such traitors and murderers being removed, peace and happiness might be expected and believed would attend the family and kingdom of David; whether this be considered as a prayer, or a prophecy, it can and will have its full accomplishment only in the kingdom of the Messiah the son of David, of the increase of whose government, and the peace thereof, there shall be no end, ( Isaiah 9:7 ) ( Psalms 72:7 ) .
