2 Samuele 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 Samuele 20:23 In-Context

21 Il fatto non sta così; ma un uomo della contrada montuosa d’Efraim, per nome Sheba, figliuolo di Bicri, ha levato la mano contro il re, contro Davide. Consegnatemi lui solo, ed io m’allontanerò dalla città". E la donna disse a Joab: "Ecco, la sua testa ti sarà gettata dalle mura".

22 Allora la donna si rivolse a tutto il popolo col suo savio consiglio; e quelli tagliaron la testa a Sheba, figliuolo di Bicri, e la gettarono a Joab. E questi fece sonar la tromba; tutti si dispersero lungi dalla città, e ognuno se ne andò alla sua tenda. E Joab tornò a Gerusalemme presso il re.

23 Joab era a capo di tutto l’esercito d’Israele; Benaia, figliuolo di Jehoiada, era a capo dei Kerethei e dei Pelethei;

24 Adoram era preposto ai tributi; Joshafat, figliuolo di Ahilud, era archivista;

25 Sceia era segretario; Tsadok ed Abiathar erano sacerdoti;
