Spanish PDT (La Biblia: La Palabra de Dios para todos)
Joab mató a dos hombres más justos y mejores que él: Abner hijo de Ner y Amasá hijo de Jéter. Abner fue el comandante del ejército de Israel y Amasá fue el comandante del ejército de Judá. En su momento mi papá David no supo que Joab los había matado. Por eso el SEÑOR castigará a Joab por los hombres que mató.
