And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\n<strong>Clarke&#8217;s Commentary on the Bible<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tidings came to Joab &#8211; He heard that Adonijah had been slain and Abiathar banished, and probably he had heard of David&#8217;s dying charge to Solomon. Fearing therefore for his personal safety, he takes refuge at the tabernacle, as claiming Divine protection, and desiring to have his case decided by God alone; or perhaps a spark of remorse is now kindled; and, knowing that he must die, he wishes to die in the house of God, as it were under the shadow, that he might receive the mercy of the Almighty. <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\n<strong>Matthew Henry&#8217;s Concise Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2:26-34 Solomon&#8217;s words to Abiathar, and his silence, imply that some recent conspiracies had been entered into. Those that show kindness to God&#8217;s people shall have it remembered to their advantage. For this reason Solomon spares Abiathar&#8217;s life, but dismisses him from his offices. In case of such sins as the blood of beasts would atone for, the altar was a refuge, but not in Joab&#8217;s case. Solomon looks upward to God as the Author of peace, and forward to eternity as the perfection of it. The Lord of peace himself gives us that peace which is everlasting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not<br \/>\n     after Absalom.<br \/>\n    &#8211; 1 Kings 2:28<br \/>\nAbsolom  Adonijah  after  for  had  Joab  not  though  turned>>> We&#8217;ve Moved This Discussion To The Forum&#8230;Comments (0) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"twitterCardType":"","cardImageID":0,"cardImage":"","cardTitle":"","cardDesc":"","cardImageAlt":"","cardPlayer":"","cardPlayerWidth":0,"cardPlayerHeight":0,"cardPlayerStream":"","cardPlayerCodec":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2105\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
