thanks a lot Bruce, you are insightful as usual.

As for Joab the thing that rubbed me the wrong way about him was when he killed Absalom. He did this not in the heat of battle but when Absalom was totally helpless hanging in the tree.

But I have to agree with you, if David had brought justice to Joab it would have brought on a civil war.
