“Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.”
King James Version (KJV)
2:31 Do, &c. - Kill him, though he be there; take him from that place,and then kill him: for, #Exod 21:14|, doth not command the ruler to killthe murderer there, but to remove him thence, to take him from the altar,that he may die.
2:34 Wilderness - Places which have but few houses and inhabitants,are often so called in scripture. He was buried privately, like a criminal,not pompously, like a general.
