Please say to Joab, ‘Come near here, that I may speak with you.’”2 Samuel 20:17 · יוֹאָ֖בHe came near to her; and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your handmaid.” He answered, “I do hear.”2 Samuel 20:20 · יוֹאָ֖בJoab answered, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.2 Samuel 20:21 · יוֹאָ֔בThe matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.”2 Samuel 20:22 · יוֹאָ֔ב · וְיוֹאָ֛בThen the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.2 Samuel 20:23 · וְיוֹאָ֕בNow Joab was over all the army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites;2 Samuel 23:18 · יוֹאָ֣בAbishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three.

But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?”2 Samuel 24:4 · יוֹאָ֔ב · יוֹאָ֜בNotwithstanding, the king’s word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.2 Samuel 24:9 · יוֹאָ֛בJoab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.1 Kings 1:7 · יוֹאָ֣בHe conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.1 Kings 1:19 · וּלְיֹאָ֖בHe has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.1 Kings 1:41 · יוֹאָב֙Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”1 Kings 2:5 · יוֹאָ֣ב“Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was about his waist, and in his shoes that were on his feet.1 Kings 2:22 · וּלְיוֹאָ֖בKing Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah?

Joab fled to the Tent of Yahweh, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.1 Kings 2:29 · יוֹאָב֙It was told king Solomon, “Joab has fled to the Tent of Yahweh, and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”1 Kings 2:30 · יוֹאָ֖בBenaiah came to the Tent of Yahweh, and said to him, “Thus says the king, ‘Come forth!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.”1 Kings 2:31 · יוֹאָ֔בThe king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him; that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.1 Kings 2:33 · יוֹאָ֔בSo shall their blood return on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed forever. But to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from Yahweh.”1 Kings 11:15 · יוֹאָב֙For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army was gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom1 Kings 11:16 · יוֹאָ֖ב(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);1 Kings 11:21 · יוֹאָ֣בWhen Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”1 Chronicles 2:16 · וְיוֹאָ֥בand their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. The sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, and Joab, and Asahel, three.1 Chronicles 4:14 · יוֹאָב֙Meonothai became the father of Ophrah: and Seraiah became the father of Joab the father of Ge Harashim; for they were craftsmen.1 Chronicles 11:6 · יוֹאָ֥בDavid said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.1 Chronicles 11:8 · וְיוֹאָ֕בHe built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.1 Chronicles 11:20 · יוֹאָ֗בAbishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.1 Chronicles 11:26 · יוֹאָ֔בAlso the mighty men of the armies: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,1 Chronicles 11:39 · יוֹאָ֥בZelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armor bearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,1 Chronicles 18:15 · וְיוֹאָ֥בJoab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;1 Chronicles 19:8 · יוֹאָ֔בWhen David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.1 Chronicles 19:10 · יוֹאָ֗בNow when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.1 Chronicles 19:14 · יוֹאָ֜בSo Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.1 Chronicles 19:15 · יוֹאָ֖בWhen the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.1 Chronicles 20:1 · יוֹאָב֩ · יוֹאָ֛בIt happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.1 Chronicles 21:2 · יוֹאָב֙David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.”1 Chronicles 21:3 · יוֹאָ֗בJoab said, “May Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?”1 Chronicles 21:4 · יוֹאָ֑ב · יוֹאָ֗בNevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.1 Chronicles 21:5 · יוֹאָ֛בJoab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew sword.1 Chronicles 21:6 · יוֹאָֽב׃But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.1 Chronicles 26:28 · וְיוֹאָ֖בAll that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated, whoever had dedicated anything, it was under the hand of Shelomoth, and of his brothers.1 Chronicles 27:7 · יוֹאָ֔בThe fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his division were twenty-four thousand.1 Chronicles 27:24 · יוֹאָ֨בJoab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but didn’t finish; and there came wrath for this on Israel; neither was the number put into the account in the chronicles of king David.1 Chronicles 27:34 · יוֹאָֽב׃ פand after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the captain of the king’s army was Joab.Ezra 2:6 · יוֹאָ֑בThe children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand eight hundred twelve.Ezra 8:9 · יוֹאָ֔בOf the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.Nehemiah 7:11 · וְיוֹאָ֑בThe children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand eight hundred eighteen.
