Joabe matou dois homens mais justos e melhores do que ele: Abner, filho de Ner, e Amasa, filho de Jéter. Abner foi o comandante do exército de Israel e Amasa foi o comandante do exército de Judá. Naquele tempo, meu pai Davi não soube que Joabe os tinha assassinado. Por isso o SENHOR castigará Joabe pelos homens que matou.
