Verse 11 is found in chapter 20 of 2 Samuel. After Amasa’s murder, one of Joab’s men calls the people to follow him in pursuing Sheba. Amasa’s body remains on the road and is eventually removed. The narrative shows how quickly Joab maintains his position through military action and direct leadership. The commander’s effective authority sometimes appears to exceed David’s ability to discipline him, a weakness already visible after Abner’s murder.
