Joab was a general in King David's army. His name means the Lord is the father. Joab is the son of Zeruiah and brother of Asahel and Abishai, and he is the nephew of David. He was the commander of the army when David ordered the execution of Uriah. In a revenge killing, Joab killed Abner for killing his brother Asahel. He convinced David to allow Absalom to return to Jerusalem from exile. Absalom ordered his servants to set Joab's barley fields on fire. Absalom is one of David's sons, but Joab personally murdered him. Joab was replaced as military general by his cousin Amasa, whom he later murdered. Joab became confederate with Adonijah, one of David's sons, against David's wishes, and he suffered execution by Benaiah's hands, on the orders of King Solomon. They buried him in his own house in the wilderness.
