Verse 26 is found in chapter 20 of 2 Samuel. The chapter concludes by listing David’s principal officials. Joab appears again as commander of the army despite his murders of Abner and Amasa. The administrative list reminds us that the kingdom continues functioning institutionally after the rebellions. Yet Joab’s presence exposes an unresolved tension: David retains the throne, but some of the men who sustain his government possess an autonomy and power that complicate his reign.
