| Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 4 And the word of the king [is] severe against Joab, and Joab goeth out, and goeth up and down in all Israel, and cometh in to Jerusalem. | 4 The king's word, however, overruled Joab; so Joab left and went throughout Israel and then came back to Jerusalem. |
