Christians are called to leave vengeance to God and pursue peace. The Importance of Integrity Joab's deceitful actions contrast with the biblical call to honesty and integrity. Believers should strive to be truthful and transparent in their dealings with others. The Role of Forgiveness The account highlights the destructive nature of holding onto grudges. Forgiveness is a central tenet of Christian faith, promoting healing and reconciliation. Respect for God's Anointed Abner's shift to support David as God's chosen king was significant. Joab's actions disregarded God's plan and timing, reminding us to respect God's authority and anointed leaders.

What Does 2 Samuel 3:27 Mean When Abner returned to Hebron• Hebron was one of the six cities of refuge where manslayers could find safety (Joshua 20:7). • Abner came under a promise of safe conduct from King David (2 Samuel 3:20–23). • His return shows he trusted David’s covenant offer and expected protection. Cross references: Numbers 35:11–12; 2 Samuel 2:8–10; Hebrews 6:18. Joab pulled him aside into the gateway • The gateway was the hub of civic life—where judgments were rendered (Ruth 4:1). • Joab used the public setting to mask his intent, knowing no one would suspect murder in a refuge city. • This reveals Joab’s calculated manipulation of place and protocol. Cross references: Deuteronomy 21:19; 2 Samuel 18:24; Psalm 55:21. as if to speak to him privately • Joab feigned confidentiality, mimicking the diplomatic talks Abner had just held with David (2 Samuel 3:12–13). • The pretense underscores deception—sin that springs from a vengeful heart (Proverbs 26:24–26). • Abner’s openness contrasts with Joab’s duplicity, highlighting the moral tension. Cross references: Genesis 4:8; Proverbs 27:6; Matthew 26:48–49. and there Joab stabbed him in the stomach • The stomach wound mirrors how Asahel was struck by Abner’s spear-butt (2 Samuel 2:23), reflecting “eye-for-eye” thinking twisted by personal vendetta. • Joab’s act was cold-blooded murder, not lawful vengeance, because it violated the sanctuary of a refuge city and ignored due process (Numbers 35:22–25). • The violent breach of covenant illustrates that unchecked anger leads to bloodguilt (Matthew 5:21–22). Cross references: Deuteronomy 19:11–13; Romans 12:19; James 1:20. So Abner died on account of the blood of Joab’s brother Asahel • Joab justified the killing as revenge, yet Scripture exposes it as murder—Abner had killed Asahel in self-defense during wartime, not malice (2 Samuel 2:18–23). • Personal retaliation usurps God’s role as judge; Joab’s deed later brings David’s curse upon his household (2 Samuel 3:29). • The passage warns that sin’s cycles deepen when we refuse God’s paths of justice and mercy (Romans 14:10–12). Cross references: Leviticus 19:18; 1 Kings 2:5–6; Galatians 6:7. summary 2 Samuel 3:27 records Joab’s calculated, deceptive murder of Abner within a city of refuge, violating covenant, law, and divine principles of justice. Abner trusted David’s promise; Joab exploited that trust for private revenge, proving that personal grudges breed treachery and bring God’s righteous judgment on the perpetrator. (27) Aside in the gate.--The gateway was a customary place of conference in the East, and Joab there awaited Abner's return; he then took him "aside" to some place of privacy, as the LXX. reads, "by the side of the gate." On the phrase "fifth rib," see Note on 2Samuel 2:23. The reason for this cold-blooded and treacherous murder on the part of Joab is expressly said to be "for the blood of Asahel his brother;" but no doubt his revenge was quickened by jealousy.Verse 27. - Joab took him aside in the gate. As we read in 2 Samuel 18:24 of David sitting "between the two gates," and of "the roof over the gate," and in ver. 33 of "the chamber over the gate," Ewald's idea of there being a roofed inner space, with a guard room over it, as in the mediaeval gate towers in German towns, is probably right. As the "two gates" would make the space between them gloomy, the spot would just suit Joab's purpose. He meets Abner, therefore, in a friendly manner, and drawing him aside, as if to converse with him apart from the people going in and out, there assassinates him. The place was so public that the deed must have been witnessed by multitudes, though the gloom, felt the more by them from the contrast with the bright glare of sunshine outside, had given Joab the opportunity of drawing his sword without Abner's observing it. For the blood of Asahel his brother. Joab's act was in accordance with Oriental feeling; and the duties of the avenger of blood might with some straining be made to cover his retaliation for an act done by Abner in self-defence (Numbers 35:26, 27). It is remarkable that Hebron was itself a city of refuge (Joshua 20:7), and this may have led Joab to murder him in the gate, before he had actually entered. Still, Abner did not expect any such retribution, and supposing that Joab knew of the purpose that had brought him to Hebron, he could not suppose that he would be so indifferent to his master's interests as to put a summary stop to the negotiations for uniting the tribes under David. As it was, this deed brought upon David an evil name, and four or five years had to elapse before the tribes could be induced to take him for their king. Even then his hold over them was far less than it would otherwise have been; for though the shock was gradually got over, yet the suspicion still dung to him. And if the deed was Joab's own act, still David had contributed to it by underhand dealings. His very fear of Joab had caused him to wrong his able general, and given him just cause for resentment.Parallel Commentaries ...
