Listen to 1 Reyes 2:29
29 Y se le inform贸 al rey Salom贸n que Joab hab铆a huido a la tienda del SE脩OR, y que estaba junto al altar. Entonces Salom贸n envi贸 a Bena铆a, hijo de Joiada, diciendo: Ve y arremete contra 茅l.

1 Reyes 2:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 2:29

And it was told King Solomon that Joab was fled unto the
tabernacle of the Lord
This account was brought him very probably by some of his courtiers:

and, behold, [he is] by the altar;
to which he betook himself for refuge, laying hold on the horns of it:

then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, go, fall upon
him;
slay him; Josephus F7 says, the orders were to cut off his head; but perhaps it might be only to lay hold on him, and take him thence, and bring him to Solomon to have judgment passed upon him; for the Targum is,

``exercise your power over him,''

take him into custody; and certain it is that the first orders were not to slay him, at least upon the spot where he was.

1 Reyes 2:29 In-Context

27 As铆 Salom贸n priv贸 a Abiatar de ser sacerdote del SE脩OR, para que se cumpliera la palabra que el SE脩OR hab铆a hablado acerca de la casa de El铆 en Silo.
28 Cuando las noticias llegaron a Joab (porque Joab hab铆a seguido a Adon铆as, aunque no hab铆a seguido a Absal贸n), Joab huy贸 a la tienda del SE脩OR y se asi贸 a los cuernos del altar.
29 Y se le inform贸 al rey Salom贸n que Joab hab铆a huido a la tienda del SE脩OR, y que estaba junto al altar. Entonces Salom贸n envi贸 a Bena铆a, hijo de Joiada, diciendo: Ve y arremete contra 茅l.
30 Bena铆a entr贸 en la tienda del SE脩OR y le dijo: As铆 ha dicho el rey: "Sal de ah铆." Pero 茅l dijo: No, pues morir茅 aqu铆. Bena铆a llev贸 la respuesta al rey, diciendo: As铆 habl贸 Joab y as铆 me respondi贸.
31 Y el rey le dijo: Haz como 茅l ha dicho; arremete contra 茅l, m谩talo y enti茅rralo, para que quites de m铆 y de la casa de mi padre la sangre que Joab derram贸 sin causa.
