David's several officers Joab son of Zeruiah Joab, the son of Zeruiah, is a prominent military leader in King David's army. His mother, Zeruiah, is David's sister, making Joab David's nephew. The Hebrew root of "Joab" means "Yahweh is father," which is significant as it reflects the theocratic nature of Israel's leadership. Joab's role in this narrative highlights the tension between human authority and divine command, as he often acts with a mixture of loyalty and self-interest. began to count the men but he did not finish Wrath came upon Israel on account of this census and the number was not entered in the book of the chronicles of King David Because there fell wrath for it.--The same phrase recurs in 2Chronicles 19:10; 2Chronicles 24:18. (Comp. for the fact, 1Chronicles 21:7, seq.) The sense of the Hebrew may be brought out better thus: "Joab son of Zeruiah had begun to number, without finishing; and there fell," &c. Neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.--Literally, and the number came not up ('?l?h), was not entered. (Comp. 1Kings 9:21; 2Chronicles 20:34.) The number which Joab ascertained was not recorded, as might have been expected, in the official annals of the reign, here designated as "the account of the chronicles of king David" (mispar dibre ha-y?mim). It is implied that the chronicler had these annals before him in some form or other, probably as a section of the "History of the Kings of Judah and Israel," and that he found the lists of this chapter in that source. Those of 1 Chronicles 23-26 may have been derived from the same authority. In 2Kings 12:20; 2Kings 13:8; 2Kings 13:12, and all similar instances, the phrase for "book of the Chronicles" is not mispar, but s?pher dibre ha-y?mim. Some suppose that the text here should be altered accordingly; others would render mispar dibre ha-y?mim, "the statistical section of the annals." But mispar in Judges 7:15 means the telling or relation of a dream, and the transition from such a sense to that of written relation is easy. The phrase rendered "Chronicles" is the same as the Hebrew title of these books. . . . Verse 24. - It seems a little surprising to read of Joab, fixed on the page of history as the person who began to number, but... finished not, when we have been already particularly told that it was he to whom King David's command to number was "abominable" (1 Chronicles 21:6). However differently enough from the method of either nature or mankind, the antidote has here preceded the evil. For because there fell wrath for it, read the Hebrew, and there was for this wrath upon Israel. The last sentence of the verse purports to say that such numbering as had been done before the point at which Joab stopped was not honoured by a place, where other numbers were found, in the register of the chronicles of King David.Parallel Commentaries ...
