Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| He tarried - The cause of Amasa's delay is not stated. It may have been the unwillingness of the men of Judah to place themselves under his orders, or it may have been caused by a wavering or hesitation in loyalty. This last is evidently insinuated in Sa2 20:11, and no doubt this was the pretext, whether grounded in fact or not, by which Joab justified the murder of Amasa before David. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Tarried - Either, because the people being wearied out by the late war, were not forward to engage in another: or because the soldiers had more affection to Joab, than to their new general. |
11 And one [0376] of Joab's [03097] men [05288] stood [05975] by him, and said [0559], He [04310] that favoureth [02654] Joab [03097], and he that is for David [01732], let him go after [0310] Joab [03097].
